I am having an issue when attempting to export updates from my WSUS.  My environment is a little unique compared to most.  I have WSUS 3.0 SP2 installed on 64-bit Windows Server 2008.  We have a single forward facing WSUS with an outside connection.  I should also mention upfront that upgrading my server to a newer OS and version of WSUS is NOT an option at this point in time so I need to make this work somehow. We use that to export updates using powershell with the following command:

./wsusutil.exe export E:\WSUS\Export_Cabs\export.xml.gz E:\WSUS\Logs\export.log

We then copy the exported metadata to a removable drive and air gap it over to our WSUS on an isolated network and import the metadata.

For the first few months after we implemented this WSUS installation, everything worked perfectly.  Then one day a couple months ago, I ran the export as I normally do but this time the export failed with the following error:

"The gzip stream can't contain more than 4GB data."

After researching potential causes/solutions, I came across KB2828185.  I checked my update history and it was previously installed far prior to encountering this issue.  At the time, I had .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.5.1 installed.  I have removed them and replaced them with .NET 4.0 and still receive the same error.  I am at my wits end on this.  Every solution I have found leads me to KB 2828185 but this does not fix the problem.  Anybody who can offer some advice or other avenues to explore would be greatly appreciated.



I setup a new WSUS server and then changed name of old one to something else and then renamed new one what the old one was. None of the clients are connecting to new WSUS server even though the GPO should be pointing to correct name. Is there something else I have to do in order for PCs to sync now?

Hi, I am not able to detect some driver updates on my windows 7 machine using WSUS.
When i scan from microsoft server i am able to detect some driver updates as missing on my machine, however, when i sync my WSUS with microsoft i am not able to get those driver updates, so that i can approve it. I tried searching that update on WSUS using its title, in the right pane search box, but could not find it.
I have selected 'Driver' classification and 'Windows 7' as product while synchronization.

Any help, appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Suraj K.

I'm getting this error when installing the WSUS

OS : Windows 2008 R2

Windows Server Update Services: Installation failed
   Error: The update was found but could not be downloaded. Please check your network connectivity or contact your Administrator to ensure that the update is approved for this computer.

Hello. I have seen many posts and discussions on clients showing as not reporting yet in the wsus server. I have built the WSUS server role and i have gotten 6 computers to show was installed and receive updates from the wsus. I am having issues having the other server to report.

1) have set up a GPO pushed to all the servers, yet only the one server continues to show as not reported yet.

2) i have taken it off the domain and readded it to the domain with no success.

3) have did the wsus update diagnostic tool

4) have did the wuauclt /detectnow; wuauclt /resetauthorization; wuauclt /report commands all to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have also tried to install the KB updates seen on the other posts: KB2959977, KB2720211 neither have worked.

Been at it for a couple weeks to no avail. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Clients not reporting in

Hi,

I have WSUS pushing updates to my clients. Exchange Rollups are getting pushed to my exchange servers. I would like to manually install them and not have wsus push them. I do not have update roll ups chosen.  

Below is the settings in wsus

Also, I now have Windows Server 2012 DC's anything diffrent I need to do in WSUS?

Below is the wsus version i think?

Hi,

Need to configure WSUS. I have added the role, but while configuring WSUS its getting failed. I am trying to do it in my AD server. Also tried in SQL server and Vcentre server, but no luck getting same error. copied the log file below. Please help.

Hey, so I have a couple questions regarding WSUS:  

1. Can computers be set to daily check for updates from an internal WSUS server and download them without installing, and then automatically install those updates at a different, scheduled time, whether they are connected or not?  (I see the GPO called "Automatic Updates detection frequency" that I can configured, but it doesn't say whether updates are downloaded during this operation or not) 

2. Can computers be configured so that they will download updates from an internal WSUS server first and if it's not available, then reach out to Microsoft?

I've recently built a Windows 2012 R2 server with SQL Express advanced 2008 and WSUS. Im trying to export the approval database to import in to a non internet system. Every time I run wsusmigrationexport I get the following error:

I have WSUS installed and working as part of a Windows Server 2012 R2 install. GPO has properly propagated to update HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate on clients to the new server, so I believe that's evidence that the WSUS GPO is being properly applied by clients. The WSUS server is set to download and auto-approve Defender under Windows on the Products tab and Definition Updates on the Classifications tab and it appears to have sync'd them properly.

As far as I can tell (not certain there aren't other problems), the only problem is that Defender on Windows 8.1 is still downloading its updates from Microsoft, even though all other updates (I think) are properly coming from the WSUS server. I'm not sure how to tell how it's downloading them, but it seemed to be too slow to be getting them from the WSUS server, so I tested disconnected WAN/Internet access (but still leaving LAN access to the WSUS server), and all of a sudden Windows Defender gave an error that it couldn't download updates because of a connectivity problem. So it's not even going to the WSUS server when the MS server is inaccessible.

Any ideas why this one application would behave differently for getting its updates? Is there a separate place to set its update server? With the Defender and Definition Updates selected, that should cover the Defender virus definitions, yes?

Thanks,
Colin

Hello

Thank you for reading my post

I am currenly setiing up a Hyper-V test lab for Windows 2012 R2. So far so good untill I come to install WSUS rule

I have worked through a few guides and my book that all say the same thing

http://www.wackytechtips.com/installing-wsus-windows-server-update-services-on-windows-server-2012/ (last one I tired)

Warning: The join order has been enforced because a local join hint is used.

Is why this is not working - after reading lots on the internet I have done the following

1. Removed the role - Reboot server and readd the Role - Did not work

2. Remove the WSUS site from the ISS console and try agin - did not work

3. Reinstalled .net - did not work

4. Rebuilt my server and tried installing - Same thing (I dont that 3 times now)

Anyone got any suggestions

Hi Everyone,

Our setup is server side why doesn't the workstations populate to unassigned computers ?

Also, do I have to setup workstation folders and move the computers into that folder for them to be seen on WSUS server?

Do our workstations have to have the local group policy setting enabled for client-side to receive updates?

Hi,

  My WSUS server is running server 2008 R2 with WSUS 3.0 sp2 installed. The server is running fine without any issues. However  I would like to be able to manage WSUS a bit better by upgrading the server from server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2. The upgrade would allow me to take advantage of the built in WSUS PowerShell tools. Has anyone upgraded their WSUS servers without any major issues? What do you recommend...upgrade or Clean install? any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Came into a company with a manual patching process using WSUS, not using GP at all.  I am creating a new WSUS environment and attempting to automate all if possible.

My concern currently is not having some servers reboot after updates are applied.  I know some updates (we are only doing critical and security) may require a reboot after install, but I have a list of servers that have to be done manually.  What I am thinking of doing is creating a group (using CST), and doing option 3 Auto Download and notify for install and then create/schedule a PowerShell script to do the install and reboot the server.

I have been using SCCM (this a project for later this year) for years and am refreshing my brain on WSUS, am I on the right track for this?

Good Morning

We have a WSUS v3.0 environment that contain upstream WSUS server and multiple replica servers. One of the replica server at remote location is unable to synch windows updates from the upstream server. It provides "Unknown" reason as a result each time it tries to synch. In the same time other replica servers & upstream server are working fine.

I am unable to determine the cause so far. Any help?

Dear Support,

When attempting to install WSUS on Server 2008 R2 SP1 I receive the following error:

2012-01-04 18:01:14  Success   MWUSSetup          Detected that setup was launched through Server Manager

IIS installs OK, but the problem appears to be related to installing Windows Internal Database rather than WSUS itself.

WSUS was installed previously on the server. The WSUS role and Windows Internal Database Feature are both unticked in Server Manager.

Running: msiexec /x {BDD79957-5801-4A2D-B09E-852E7FA64D01} callerid=ocsetup.exeI receive the message "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed".

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm stumped. I have a domain with mostly Windows 7 computers and some 2008 R2 servers. I have a new virtual Server2012 R2 server, installed WSUS through the Server Manager. It is pulling updates fine. I put four computers on as clients to test. The two Windows 7 clients are connecting fine. The two Server 2012R2 servers are not connecting as clients. one of those clients is the WSUS server itself. The version number is 6.3.9600.16384. All four of the computers have the same settings set by GPO. I thought the KB2734608 issue was causing the problem, but that hotfix won't install. It says I don't have the proper version.

Here is the output from the WindowsUpdate log file from one of the servers:
