Hi @GlennMaxwell-2309 ,

You server should be CU19 based on the Build number 15.1.2176.2.

Then you need to first install the CU21 full installation patch and then install the July SU patch. And yes you need to run commands like /prepareSchema if you are going to install in unattended mode. In addition, you should put your servers in maintance mode because of the DAG.

Kindly suggest that you could check for this article and see what you need to do: https://assistants.microsoft.com/assistants/#/session/bb2ef9b8-cb02-4fb1-9558-a5a2932af5c5

After installed all CU and SU patches on your servers, then exit from maintance mode and see if the upgrade was successfully installed.

Best regards,
Lou
