  1. No security Fixes for SP2010 also = no CU for SP2010 since no feature updates since end of life? Correct?

  2. Question since the November and December PU are included in the January Secuirty update it is safe to assume we can jump to the January 2017 update correct?

    1. For which Product version?
      In November and December we did not have security fixes for SharePoint 2016 and that is the only one we have in January.
      Also be aware that security fixes are cumulative per component. So you cannot assume that a security fix in January will include the security from December or November.

  3. Stefan, do I need to run PSConfig.exe after installing the January 2017? The patch status says “Update for Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2013 (KB3141481) 64-Bit Edition” is installed

  4. Hello Stefan, is it a bug in this PU?
    The incremental crawl runs only 1m 30sec, after patching, the incremental crawler runs after psconfig 55m 🙁

    1. Hi Peter,
      from what I know this has not yet been reported.
      I would recommend to open a support case with Microsoft to get this analyzed.
      Cheers,
      Stefan

  5. I just installed the security fix on my SP2016-box, and after running the PSConfig-Wizard I got two errors:
    Exception: Cannot open database “sp2016_SecureStore” requested by the login. The login failed.
    Exception: Cannot open database “sp2016_BusinessDataCatalog” requested by the login. The login failed.
    Looking at the database the user executing the config-wizard doesn’t have permission. DBO of those databases is the farm-account (which I’m usually not using to log-on).
    Checking with an SP2013-box this is the same. My setup-account has no permission, just the farm-account and the services-account. So far I never had a problem. Maybe the upgrade is supposed to be executed by the timer-job, which is running as the farm-account?
    So far I’ve upgraded only using the wizard, not the commandline psconfig.exe – or do I have to run the psconfig as farm-admin? I guess I would also need to add the farm-admin to the local admin-group (which he currently is not).

      1. Well, that is true for my setup account – with the exception to the following databases:
        – BusinessDataCatalog
        – SecureStore
        – Sync
        I installed SP2016 using the famous AutoSPInstaller … So I suppose I should grant the setup-account ShellAdmin-Access in order to successfully run the upgrade?

          1. OK, that did work – however, since (as recommended by https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc678863.aspx#SharePoint administrative accounts) the SharePoint farm service account is not a local-admin it cannot assign shell-admin permissions. So at first I had to make the farm-admin a local admin, then start an elevated shell as farm-admin grant the setup-account shell-access and then issue the psconfig-command as the setup-account. And of course retract the farm-admin from the local admins prior to logging out of the system.
            Seems like quite som hassel – but, finally it did work – well, after running upgrade-spcontentdatabase on a couple of databases, which didn’t got upgraded properly by psconfig.

    1. Hi Laurant,
