Yesterday evening, when installing Service Pack 2 to my test SharePoint farm, the configuration wizard failed on Step 3. After dissecting the Upgrade.log file located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Logs\Upgrade.log, I found the following error:
[WebApplicationSequence] [ERROR] [5/10/2009 6:51:13 PM]: Feature '20477d83-8bdb-414e-964b-080637f7d99b' is not installed in this farm, and cannot be added to this scope.
After further research, I discovered the feature referred to in the error (20477d83-8bdb-414e-964b-080637f7d99b) is the “PublishingTimerJobs” feature. To install this feature to the farm, run the following stsadm command:
stsadm -o installfeature -name PublishingTimerJobs
Next, I recommend forcing the timer job to execute immediately.
stsadm.exe -o execadmsvcjobs
Finally, run the configuration wizard again to successfully complete the installation of SP2 to the SharePoint farm:
psconfig -cmd upgrade -wait -inplace b2b
Hope this helps.
