1. Disable the IISAdmin and SPTimerV4 service
2. Shut down IIS Admin and Timer Services if they are running
3. Give you the option to Pause the Search Service Application (see search notes below)
4. Stop Search Services (see search notes below)
5. Install the patch in passive mode (No user interaction required but will witness the patch install in the UI)
Note: Power Shell should remain open in the background while patch is running
6. Upon completion of the patch, the Power Shell script, services in step 1 are set to Automatic
7. Starts up IIS Admin and Timer Services
8. Starts up Search Services
9. Resume the Search Service Application if it was paused
10. Finally, the script will display the Start Time and End Time for patch install
Instructions for Running the Power Shell Script
In order to run the script, save the flow script to a text editor like notepad. Save the file with a .ps1 extension to a folder on the SharePoint Server. Drop the SharePoint cumulative update in the same folder as the script. In my example, I created a scripts folder where I dropped the powershell script and the cumulative update.
For Example:
Important: Only one update should be placed here and the file extension should be .exe.
Finally,
to run the script from c:\scripts using SharePoint Management Shell. This script is tested on Windows 2012 running SharePoint 2013
