    Hi,
    when installing patch 3, does it also include patches 1 and 2?

    • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee 0

      Hi Filip, it does. Every patch holds all of the changes from previous patches.

    Hi,

    I am new to devops 2019 and will be patching for the 1st time.

    What is the best practice to patch the servers?
    Does the patch change the sql database schema?

    Thx

    • Gloridel MoralesMicrosoft employee 0

      Hi Lovai. Patches don’t change SQL database schema, but having up to date backups is always recommended. You can follow instructions in this blog to install.

        Thanks Gloridel. I could not find the instructions in this blog email, but below are the steps I did for patching
        1. ran the exe file
        2. the app pool took about 1.5 minutes to stop running thru the command prompt.
        3. selected “yes” to get out of the command prompt after the patch was installed
        4. rebooted the server

        A few questions:
        1. Please let me know if this is the general process to follow?
        2. Also the app pool does not restart by itself that is why I rebooted the server. Is this normal?
        3. The patched version does not show up on the product version of the TFS admin console, should it? (I saw teh new version on the dll name mentioned above though)

        Apologies for bombarding you with so many questions, but since its my first time I wanted to be sure.

        thanks,
        Lovai
