When upgrading to CU8 on 2016SP2, I get the following error

Final result: The patch installer has failed to update the shared features. To determine the reason for failure, review the log files. (01) 2019-08-22 21:44:14 Slp: Error result: -2058354685 (01) 2019-08-22 21:44:14 Slp: Result facility code: 1360 (01) 2019-08-22 21:44:14 Slp: Result error code: 3

From searching it seems this error is only existent in 2008R2, and is an issue with the performance monitor file in system32, which the fix tells you to rename, then repair the update.

As we have 5 databases on this server running in 2008R2 compatibility mode, I thought it was worth a shot.

I renamed this file to perf-MSSQL13.MSSQLSERVER-sqlagtctr-renamed (as the fix in the article doesn't specify what it should be renamed to?), and RERAN (as i don't know how to repair a SQL update - only a SQL installation?) the update, and the same (apparently incorrectly thus erroring) file was recreated at the same location, beside the old file that I renamed, and the installation finished with the same failure error.

The funny thing is that the instance works (apparently) perfectly - SELECT @@VERSION shows that CU8 has been successfully applied. But problems down the line may emerge - I'd obviously rather have a clean success.

Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Edit: The detail file says:

The process does not possess the 'SeSecurityPrivilege' privilege which is required for this operation.

That's pretty cut and dry. Even if you're in the Administrators local group (which you should be to run setup) things like group policy can still be going on in the background and locking things down. All of the required permissions are not held by the account used. which resulted in HResult : 0x80070005 which, when translated, means ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.

I would run repair on the installation to make sure everything is good and the perf counters show up and work without issue.

  • Thanks - I saw this SeSecurityPrivilige issue too - so I checked my test server, on which the update succeeded, which has the exact same settings (e.g. 'Administrators' not listed under Manage Auditing and Security Log (mapped to SeSecurityPrivilige) at Local Security Policy’ > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment so if the update succeeded there, but not in production, I'm not sure that is the issue? How do you 'Repair' a SQL Server Cumulative Upgrade? I only see people referring to repairing an install, which is not what I am doing.
