Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide additional detail on how SharePoint Servers will be patched using Shavlik Protect.

Symptoms

When performing a patch scan on a Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 the results show the following products needing patches:

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 x64

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2013 Core x64

Microsoft Access Services Server 2013 x64

Microsoft SharePoint Portal 2013 x64

Microsoft Word Server 2013 x64

Microsoft Education 2013 x64

Microsoft InfoPath Forms Services 2013 x64

Microsoft Slide Library 2013 x64

PerformancePoint Services For SharePoint 2013 x64

Microsoft SharePoint Multilingual Solutions 2013 x64

Microsoft Server Proof 2013 x64

Microsoft Visio Services 2013 x64

Microsoft Excel Services Components 2013 x64

Microsoft Office PowerPoint Services 2013 x64

Cause

Protect will list all of these components as under separate product names. The reason for this is to ensure that only SharePoint 2013 Servers with the corresponding component installed are offered the patch. As offering all of these components when they are in fact not installed would result in multiple failures.
