PsConfig step by step /Configuration Wizard. “Upgrade Available” vs “Upgrade required”

The "Upgrade available" simply means that there is a newer patch available at the SharePoint Updates page than the one installed on your SharePoint farm. We checked the Farm version and made sure its the latest available version.


Getting "Upgrade Required" error message in SharePoint 2013? Well, Ideally, We have to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on the server(s) right after installing the service pack/patches.

In Windows Server 2012, SharePoint updates are part of Windows Server Update. It installs patches but never runs Products configuration wizard automatically! You still have to run psconfig wizard to complete patching!

Assume that we have an input field named Feedback var feedbackField = $("input[title=Feedback]"); feedbackField.parent().parent().parent().hide();    But what if we want to hide the field for a particular SharePoint user group only. Let's say we have a user group named "Test Group" and we don't want to show the Feedback field to the users of this group. In order to achieve this we need to know whether the current logged in user belongs to the "Test Group" or not.This can be done by using   SPServices , a Jquery library for SharePoint web services. Grab the latest version of SPServices Jquery library from codeple x and Jquery from here . Once you have both .js files, upload them to a SharePoint document library. In my case I created a folder named JS inside Shared Documents Document library and uploaded both files...
