    When running devops2020patch2.exe, it says the patch does not apply to version 18.170.30804.1. Does having a RC installed make a difference on these patches?

    • Daniel Schlößer 0

      This version is not DevOps Server 2020, but the RC of DevOps Server 2020.0.1 which is a RC for a future product update.

      I am finding the same. When I try to apply the patch to Server 2020.0.1 RC (18.170.30804.1), I see “This patch does not apply to Azure DevOps Server version 18.170.30804.1”. The blog post announcing the RC version (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/announcing-azure-devops-server-2020-0-1-rc/) states that it is a go-live release. Is there another patch coming for 2020.0.1 RC that has these same fixes? If not, what is the suggested update path for those of us running the go-live RC version?

      Hi Keenan, this patch is for Azure DevOps Server 2020. It doesn’t apply to Azure DevOps Server 2020.0.1.

    So…
    Any estimate when the link for AzDOS 2019 1.1 patch 7 will be fixed?

    • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee 0

      Hi Christian, this patch doesn’t fix that issue. This issue is still under investigation with Need More Info.

    • Kiranmayee JonnalagaddaMicrosoft employee 0

      Hi Christian,
      We have identified the issue and prepared a fix for this, this shall be available in the february patch and fixed in Server 2020 U1.

    The last two patches we’ve seen this error:

    Error patching files: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path ‘C:\Program Files\Azure DevOps Server 2020\Application Tier\Web Services\bin\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.dll’ is denied

    Any ideas why? Previous patching has always been smooth and without any issues

      To resolve the issue we needed to restart the Windows Event Log service

        Hi Andre, I opened a bug to get this issue investigated by the team. I will update here once I hear back from them.

    After installing Azure DevOps Server 2019.1.1 Patch 7, the Azure DevOps Server Administration Console is still showing the previous version 17.153.29522.3 (AzureDevOps2019.Update1.1) instead of the installed version zure DevOps Server 2019.1.1 Patch 7 (17.153.30904.4).
    Server rebooted with same result.

    And also running tfsconfig.exe -settings returns a log with Version : 17.153.29522.3

    -result with CheckInstall parameter returns “Patch 17.153.30904.4 found in registry, it is installed.”
    -DLL shows 17.153.30904.4.
