When attempting to apply and update to sharepoint the upgrade fails and the upgrade log returns the following error:

RESOLUTION

This is normally caused as the mentioned web application has references to IIS sites which do not exist, remove these and then run the technologies wizard again.

Open Central Administration
Manage Web Application
Select Web Application
Drop down the delete button
Remove SharePoint from IIS Web Site
Remove the missing Web Applications
Click Ok
Re-run the Technologies and Configuration Wizard

One thought on “Unable to update SharePoint 2010 CU or SP (Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPIisWebSite)”

  1. I had to rebuild web application that was noted below {ERR} section listed in the {INFO} section and rebuild it. Once I did that I was able to successfully run psconfig.
