@Kenneth Campbell sorry I don't know. Mine is just a small server for family and friends that lives on a spare PC in the house.
I managed to stop the console spam by adding --forceUpgrade to the end of the bat file. It took a very long time to go through each chunk, and once that was done the server started, initially without errors. Once people were on it, the errors came again (but less of them) but this went away after a restart (without --forceUpgrade), and I haven't seen them since. Hope this is helpful to someone else.
@j b - did you restart the server a second time without --forceUpgrade? I found that initially I got the spam when people logged on, but after doing another restart without --forceUpgrade this seems to have gone.
