  I installed Azure DevOps Server 2019 update 1.1 but I have never applied any patches. Do I have to install patch 1, patch 2, patch 3 … or do I have to install only last patch 6?

    Hi Francesco, if you have Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1.1, you can install Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1.1 Patch 6. You don’t need to install other patches prior to Patch 6.

  After installing the Server 2020 Patch 1, “Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Feed.Server.dll” is on version “18.170.30525.1” and not “18.170.30723.6”
  The “CheckInstall” command reports the patch as installed.

      Hi Hendrik, I just updated the blog instructions with the correct file for validation. It should be

      [INSTALL_DIR]\Azure DevOps Server 2020\Application Tier\bin\Microsoft.Teamfoundation.Framework.Server.dll

      . Thanks again for installing and for reporting this.

  Can you elaborate or supply a link for the item “Fix issue with TFVC not processing all results” in relation to ADS 2020?

  It seems to not be present in the release notes:
  https://docs.microsoft.com/da-dk/azure/devops/server/release-notes/azuredevops2020?view=azure-devops#azure-devops-server-2020-patch-1-date-december-8-2020

  Whereas it is available on the ADS 2019 release notes. Does that mean that it is not affecting ADS 2020?

      Hi Gloridel

      You link seems to be pointing to this exact comment and not to the 2020 release notes.

      However I cannot either fint TFVC mentioned anywhere on the 2020 release notes:
      https://docs.microsoft.com/da-dk/azure/devops/server/release-notes/azuredevops2020

        Hi Tore, apologies for the confusion. The fix applies to Azure DevOps Server 2019 only. It does not affect Azure DevOps Server 2020.

    Hi Shadab, you should install Update 1.1 first. You can find more details in the Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1.1 RTW blog post.

  After installing upgrade from Server 2019 to Server 2020, then attempting to run Patch 1, “Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Feed.Server.dll” is on version “18.170.30723.6”, however, TFS Configuration management shows that the version is still “18.170.30525.1” and the web browser reference the old patch, as well.

  Is there anyway to confirm everything updated properly?

    Hi Heather, you have the patch installed since the dll has the correct version. You can also check ‘[INSTALL_DIR]\Azure DevOps Server 2020\Application Tier\bin\Microsoft.Teamfoundation.Framework.Server.dll’ to see if it is on version 18.170.30723.6.

  We are planning on upgrading to TFS 2015 4.2 Patch 7 but I don’t see an “uninstall” option to use if we have issues. Is there one?

  If not, I presume we have to uninstall TFS 2015 4.2 and reinstall from scratch?

  I presume patch 7 must be applied to all servers with TFS 2105 4.2 installed including the TFS 2015 XAML Build servers?

  The patches don’t touch the TFS Databases do they?

  Thanks!

    Hi raynman, we don’t have an uninstall option for patches. Regarding the 2015 installation, you should install the patch in all 2015.4.2 instances. If you have 2015, you should first update to 2015.4.2 before installing this patch. Lastly, we don’t include database changes with these patches.
