After applying January 2016 Microsoft Critical
Security Patch MS16-004
on January 12, we have run into SharePoint issue that some lists could not be
displayed. The error message is “Unable to get property ‘replace’. See the
screenshots.
After working with Microsoft
support, we have identified two solutions.
1. The initial solution is
to install the full SharePoint Server 2013 Jan 2016 CU
and running configuration wizard. This cause significant concern on the server
down time and regression testing. Some company may not have this option since
they are on older version or SharePoint that could not be upgraded to this CU
directly. Because we do not have time to
install full SharePoint Server 2013 Jan 2016 CU, we continue worked with
Microsoft on any fixes.
2. On January 15, Microsoft
published the official
SEE communication on this issue and the fix. “If you are looking for a minimal change to
resolve the issue it you can just install the following fix which contains the
missing msp file containing the localized files:
KB 3114508 – Download location: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50667 “. We are able to apply the fix and fix the list
display issue.
In the past three years, we run into issues almost every time we
apply monthly security patch that contains SharePoint features. Sometimes even security
patch without SharePoint patch may cause issues. The previous issues we run
into were August s4ecurity patch for the following two issues.
- The “Unable to ‘Follow’ content” error has been confirmed as a bug introduced by both August 2015 Security Update and Cumulative Update
- "File names can’t contain the following characters: & " ? < > # { } % ~ / \." when trying to attach documents to a list, even though the file name does not contain any of the characters when attaching files to list like tasks list
We were able to apply a workaround
for issue #2 but are waiting the fix for issue #1 in Oct. 2015 CU. However, August,
Oct, Nov, Dec 2015 CUs breaks the hybrid search.
We will track the SharePoint issues caused by monthly security
patch closely in the future.
