I recently ran into this in scanning through some forum problem reports. Typically this health rule violation is reported on a large farm installation. The health rule reports the app servers that do not have PowerPivot installed on them as being out of date. Can you read “bug?” Yes, this is one. You can either safely ignore the error report or you can disable the health rule. The problem is solved in CU3.
As always, sorry for the inconvenience. We should have done a better job in our error reporting.

Even after installing CU6 on the PowerPivot server (our configuration is SharePoint WFE (Web App only), SharePoint App Layer (+ PowerPivot + Excel Services), SQL Server BE), the error persists. It also notes that the SharePoint WFE is the Failing Server for the health rule check. In checking the 14 hive\Template\Features\PowerPivotAdmin, the file times are correct between the WFE/App Layer.
I’m running a large farm with 2 dedicated Powerpivot boxes at CU7 patch level and I’m still seeing this same error.
After applying SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1, I am seeing the same error “PowerPivot: The deployed farm solution is not up-to-date.” It is complaining about the web front-end. Any solution out there?
I am also receiving this error after installing SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1.
Both of WFE servers are showing as failing servers on the health check.
Am I supposed to install sql and powerpivot on them as well?
I thought I only had to have it on the application server.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Has anyone come across a solution for this yet?
I’ve restored from backup, redeployed powerpivot according to the articles listed on Microsoft’s website. I also applied SQL Server R2 SP1. It still thinks my web front ends are not up to date.
