For a SharePoint administrator running a SharePoint configuration wizard successfully is a big achievement those dealing with this can find the meaning of why I have used this word. Let’s come to the topics – when we run the SharePoint configuration wizard in the production server due to some reason it may be for a CU update or some other database issue. Over a period of time when the installation wizard runs, we will get the failure error – this content database needs to upgrade.
How do we overcome this error? the upgraded database schema doesn’t match the targetschema
The error says the target database does not match the schema which needs to be upgraded. So whichever database is mentioned in the error needs to upgrade – we need to run the below PowerShell command for each database one by one.
Example:
Upgrade-SPContentDatabase "WSS_ContentDatabase"
So, if we have multiple content database which needs an upgrade – running this command one by one is time-consuming. So the best way to complete this upgrade – using the below command in a single shot.
Get-SPContentDatabase | ?{$_.NeedsUpgrade -eq $true} | Upgrade-SPContentDatabase
After successfully upgrading the content database, run the SharePoint configuration wizard again from the beginning, then we will be able to run the wizard successfully.
