Some farm products and patches were not detected on this or other server, if products are patches missing locally                 

                                           

                                 

Issue: After patching a SharePoint 2013 Farm  with SP1, Attempted running SharePoint Products configuration wizard and receive this error message:

"Error: Some farm products and patches were not detected on this or other servers.  If products or patches are missing locally, you must quit this program and install the required products and patches on this server before restarting this wizard. If products or patches are missing on other servers, you must install the required products and patches on the specific servers, and you may then click the Refresh button to perform the status check again."

Cause: To enforce consistency, SharePoint 2013 checks installed product version automatically on running Products configuration wizard. If any server is missing a specific patch, You get this error message and SharePoint would not let the SharePoint Configuration Wizard to proceed.

Solution: This could be of many reasons, In this article I am providing all the solutions which can be applied to resolve the issue.

3.    Click on the Product Version Job link to open the job definition. Click on Run Now at the bottom of the page
