After installing CU3 in SCCM 2012R2 the version number is still 5.00.7958.1000

Hi Guys

I have a SCCM 2012R2 in Windows 2008R2 box with a Secondary Site also in Windows 2008R2. Before proceeding with the upgrade to CU3 I took a snapshot, installed Windows Management Framework 4.0 to get PowerShell 4.0 in order to run a health Check, all fine until this point.

 

I installed CU3 and checked that the value in CULevel in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Setup is 3 and also check the version that is displayed in the About System Center Configuration Manager dialog box is 5.00.7958.1401

 

I checked the log file C:\Windows\Temp\cm12-r2cu3-kb2994331-x64-enu.log and all good in there as well. So it's fair to say the installation was successful..??

the next step was to upgrade my secondary site from the Primary site console, so I went to Administration / Site Configuration / Sites and when I right clicked my Primary Server to check its properties I realised that the Version number was still 5.00.7958.1000 and the option to upgrade my secondary site is greyed out.

 

 

I haven't been able to find any information regarding this issue, in fact I am not sure if is a technical issue or human issue

 

The questions are, how do I upgrade my secondary site and why the difference in between version?

Found the answer in TechNet

 

"Works as dessigned. The site version number will only show the version of the latest major build, which is R2 in your case. The same with upgrading your secondary site, that's only possible via the console, with a major build. For upgrading your secondary site you can now use the created package R2 CU3 - server update."
