Trying to run PSConfig for SharePoint 2013 farm, but it is giving errors that multiple components are missing on one of the servers in the farm.
Action Performed and Resolution:
- Checked Central Admin, product and patch status, server PSConfig is showing errors for missing components for SP1 and security updates. Downloaded / Installed SP1 on both the servers
- Since the errors are indicating components of English Language Pack missing, installed English Language Pack SP1: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42082
- Ran Get-SPProduct -local on both the servers
Result:
———
PS C:\Users\SPAdmin> Get-SPProduct -local

- Cleared the SharePoint cache on both the servers and run the below PSConfig command on the app server
PSConfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force
Result:
