Hi We are running Azure Devops Server 2020 update 1 patch 4. We want to use the Search functionality On a dedicated server). Im following the steps on this site: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/project/search/install-configure-search?view=azure-devops-2020#secure-search. I'm getting stuck at the Readiness checks with an error in the log:
[Error @14:31:33.683] search plugin with version: '6.2.4.22' is not compatible, supported search plugin version: 6.2.4.18 [Info @14:31:33.683] Node returned: Error [Error @14:31:33.683] Elasticsearch plugin: 'AlmSearchPlugin' with version: '6.2.4.22' is not supported. Ensure that your remote Search server has been updated to the latest version prior to configuring Search. [Info @14:31:33.683] Completed Service Not Installed: Error
When going to through the details of the patch 4 I read that you should check the registry value and set the Version to 5.4.1. For me after the installation it was set to 6.2.4.1. I gave it a try by setting it to 5.4.1 and run the command:
.\Configure-TFSSearch.ps1 -Operation update -verbose
Unfortunately after this the value was again set to 6.2.4.1 and also the readiness checks gave the same results.
This error was also reported on the blog-page about this patch. But there was not really an answer, but tweaking some files coming from the installation folder (see comment Edwin Siebes; feb 1st). Is this really the solution? Or did I miss something?
After contact with Microsoft support I got a new dll: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Admin.dll which fixed the problem.
This was a private patch they said they going to make it public.
