FIXED – stsadm upgrade command has been replaced by psconfig.exe

Recently I came across the error below when upgrading a SharePoint 2016 farm.   Expected product behavior and simply a case of training SharePoint Administrators to use PSCONFIG.EXE command line instead.  Cheers! 

Error Screenshot

stsadm -o upgrade -inplace b2b –force
Command line error.  Invalid parameter.
stsadm –o upgrade command has been replaced by psconfig.exe -cmd upgrade

New Command

PSCONFIG -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install
