Cause

This issue can happen if the SharePoint security update MS 11-074(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-074) is installed on the SharePoint machine.

The MS 11-074 update is pushed through Windows Update. 

If the security patch is installed through Windows Update, it updates the SharePoint binaries on the machine but does not trigger an update on the SharePoint databases. As a result we get a version mismatch between the SharePoint binaries and the SharePoint databases.

This is reflected in the following error in the SharePoint ULS logs:

Unexpected query execution failure, error code 8144. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. "Procedure or function proc_UpdateListSettings has too many arguments specified." Query text (if available): "SET NOCOUNT ON; BEGIN TRAN; DECLARE @@iRet INT;EXEC @@iRet=proc_UpdateListSettings '0EB836BC-8438-41EA-9FB3-174A9B842CBB','6B2FE0D0-3A88-49A9-BF80-F3BBC45E69BA',N'{ABD11499-827E-408C-BC88-6D33E3465EF2}',1,101,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,N'sites/VIS Demonstration Collection/TestSite/Dashboards/Forms',N'template.doc',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,281022856,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,4,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,1004,0,0,NULL,NULL,NULL,0,NULL;IF @@iRet<>0 GOTO CLEANUP;CLEANUP: SET ?=@@iRet;IF @@iRet<>0 ROLLBACK TRAN; ELSE COMMIT TRAN;"

Resolution

Open and administrative command prompt window and change the folder path to the SharePoint bin folder. The path to the bin folder would be %commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\bin. Run the following commands sequentially:

psconfig -cmd secureresources

psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b
