Some farm products and patches were not detected on this or other server, if products are patches missing locally                 

                                           

                                 

Issue: After patching a SharePoint 2013 Farm  with SP1, Attempted running SharePoint Products configuration wizard and receive this error message:

"Error: Some farm products and patches were not detected on this or other servers.  If products or patches are missing locally, you must quit this program and install the required products and patches on this server before restarting this wizard. If products or patches are missing on other servers, you must install the required products and patches on the specific servers, and you may then click the Refresh button to perform the status check again."

Cause: To enforce consistency, SharePoint 2013 checks installed product version automatically on running Products configuration wizard. If any server is missing a specific patch, You get this error message and SharePoint would not let the SharePoint Configuration Wizard to proceed.

Migration of search Admin component to different server in the same farm

Migration of search Admin component to different server in the same farm.

Recently one of the farms got some additional servers joined to the farm. The Search Admin was running on a WFE, and we wanted to move search off to some dedicated servers. Here is the Power Shell script for moving Search Admin:

$SSA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication "Current Search Service App"
$SA = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchAdministrationComponent -SearchApplication $SSA
$SA | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchAdministrationComponent -SearchServiceInstance NewServerName –Force

After moving the Search Admin you’ll want to kick start the crawlers with the following:

Suspend-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication $SSA
Resume-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication $SSA
