Hi All,

I have a WSUS server setup on Server 2012 R2. It uses SQL Server as opposed to WID.

The problem I am having is that if I navigate to:

http://servername:8530/iuident.cab - nothing is downloaded (I get a 404). I've enabled directory browsing, restarted IIS and the WSUS server.

http://servername:8530/selfupdate/iudent.cab - the file is downloaded

Is this correct? I am using batchpatch, a third party tool, to initiate wsus updates on clients, but the batchpatch error points to a connectivity issue to WSUS.

Thanks

Hi experts

My Hyper-V client can not use Windows update , before it finish install all the update it always show error 80070664, any idea?

2012r2 Hyper-V , Windows 8.1 vm 64bit

Does anyone know what these errors are below? We were having trouble with our WSUS where it just kept crashing to the reset node screen so we decided to delete all the content in WSUSContent folder.  Now we are seeing all these errors in software distribution log.   Also no updates are being re-downloaded to the wsuscontent folder

Hi,

I am currently in a process of setting up replica servers for each site. I do this with an export of the content and the database.

Yesterday I have approved 5 new updates on my WSUS master server.

My question is can I still use that content + db or do I have to make an export again from the master?

Thanks in advance,

Kr,

Joeri

Hi All,
 
I was tried to install WSUS 3.0 SP2 on a server going to run SCCM2012.

While I was setting up WSUS installation wizard, I choose to connect SQL instance from a remote database e.g. DB001\SCDB

It returned that the mentioned database is not exist or Access Denied.

I am wondering any special previlleges should be given to the account running the setup? The account currently has Domain Admins and Domain User right.

The SQL 2008 R2 is newly setup and with a named instance SCDB.

I have included a couple of accounts (with Domain Admin right) and the SCCM server name in the SQL setup.

Best Regards
 
Ben Wong

Hi all,

we tried to revert all approvals for a given group with the following code:           

var scope = new UpdateScope();
            scope.ApprovedComputerTargetGroups.Add(group);
            var approvals = this.UpdateServer.GetUpdateApprovals(scope);
            foreach (IUpdateApproval approval in approvals)
            {

 approval.Delete();
            }

Unfortunately it seem that the call to GetUpdateApprovals with the given scope returns more than just the approvals for the given group but approvals for all groups on the server. Has someone an idea what is wrong?

Regards

Bernd

In our environment we have not cleaned up WSUS updates in a while, probably about a year. I have been tasked with cleaning it up and optimizing it. When I attempt to run the WSUS Server Cleanup Wizard, it hangs on "Unused updates and update revisions" and doesn't do anything. The wizard then disappears and I am taken back to the WSUS Console where I see the following:

Error: Database Error

When I click copy error to clipboard, this is what is copied:

The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server Database.

Verify that SQL server is running on the WSUS Server. If the problem persists, try restarting SQL.


System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException -- Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.UI.SnapIn.Wizards.ServerCleanup.ServerCleanupWizard.OnCleanupComplete(Object sender, PerformCleanupCompletedEventArgs e)

In my research, I have found several solutions, and have tried a few of my own. Below I will list the ones I have tried: 

1. Run each item individually. IE, run superseded updates, then run expired updates after that finishes, then run unneeded update files after that finishes, etc. This did not work

2. Stop the WSUS IIS service and run "wsusutil.exe removeunneededupdates" this also did not work

The solutions I have found, but am hesitant to try (due to the fact that we are in a live production environment) are the following:

1. Re-Index the WSUS Database according to the following link: 

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939795(v=ws.10).aspx

2. Deleting the files in the WSUS folder and running "wsusutil.exe reset" from the following link: 

http://windowsitpro.com/windows/quick-tip-resetting-wsus-server

I would like to know what, if any, impact either of these solutions will have on our environment, and which one would be the preferred method. I feel like I should use the first one, and if I still don't have any luck then try the second. My only concern with the second method is that it might break something (not sure what, except updates). 

A little about our environment - 8,000 computers, WSUS and SCCM are on the same Server 2008 R2 server, we only have the one WSUS and SCCM server, so nothing downstream as far as WSUS is concerned. 

Thanks everyone!

I have a set of 5 servers that all seem to have gotten the WU client version 7.6.7601.18804. We have no idea what patched got applied or how, but since that happened they have stopped communicating to the WSUS server. I have 26 other servers that are at 7.6.7600.256 and connect just fine. I'm racking my brain trying to figure out how to get those servers back to the previous version. the version we have seems to be a development version since i can find no information anywhere about it.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Q

All versions of Silverlight are expired/declined on our WSUS servers. When can we expect the replacements?  We use the WSUS bits to push out Silverlight via SCCM and that is no longer possible.

Thanks,

I have a single WSUS server (version 3.2.7600.226) running on a Windows 2008 R2 VM.  Devices are happily talking to it and downloading some patches, but the server says that there are nearly 200 more patches to deploy to these devices.  The patches have been approved but the system says they failed to download.  On investigation we are getting the following events at regular intervals 13042, 10023, 12002, 12012, 12032, 12022, 12042 & 12052.  I have searched for fixes to these various but they all require WSUSUTIL.EXE CHECKHEALTH to be run and it doesn't work on our server it returns a FATAL ERROR: Unable to contact the WSUS Service. 

The service is installed and I can run WSUSUTIL for other tasks.  Does anyone have any ideas where I can go next?

We use a WSUS server (2008R2) to handle Windows Updates. I have one Windows 7 workstation out of 40 that continually presents 2 separate updates for install. Once it goes through the install process, and reboots, it continually reverts back and lists the updates again.  I have tried recreating the SoftwareDistribution folder, manually installing the updates, forcing detection from the workstation.

I am at a loss as to what else to try.  Both updates show Installed on the other machines in WSUS.

Hi,

we have problems to sync April 2015 Updates from Microsoft!
I synced multiple times in the last 10 hours, but the updates are not synced.

Are there know problems, syncing the newest updates from Microsoft?
Normal Windows Updates is working, without problems!

I also set up a new machine, same result -> no April updates.

We use WSUS 6.3.9600.16384 (Windows 2012 R2).

Thx

Our WSUS server will not download KB2553428 because it is tagged with various supported languages, but English is missing from the list.  From the public MS update servers, the update comes down to a client just fine.  It looks like MS needs to fix this language supported field so that company WSUS servers will actually get the update.  Companies remain vulnerable to this issue and most likely don't know it.

Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Hi All,

can anyone tell me how to generate a patch update report on WSUS server. this is I needed for the patches I have pushed on  month December 2014. i have searched a lot but no use. wsus report menu showing some reports but its not useful for this purpose. is there any way to generate month wise update report ?

Skype is only very occasionally put into the Microsoft Update Catalog to be available to WSUS. I'm not sure why. Right now, the latest version there is 6.11, which is not even close to current.

I bring this up because versions older than 6.14 soon won't work.

Before this unknown cutoff date actually happens, can we maybe get the current version made available to WSUS?

Hi,

I've got WSUS on Server 2012 R2 and 10 Server 2012 R2 servers.

WSUS is quite happily installing all the patches, but they're all stuck at 99% compliance. They're all reporting back that the UK language pack KB2839636 isn't installed.

They all have English-UK set as their default language and display language. KB2839636 doesn't appear in Windows Update.

How can I get this update installed and get 100%?

P.S. I hate language packs :)

Gary

I have installed a new server for WSUS on Server 2k8, This is a stand alone server on Internet No client system is connected on this server as I have to copy these updates to my LAN which never connects to internet. (Previously I was using server 2k3. for online & server 2008 on my LAN , now I have changed the server for Online)

Wsus has finished the synchronization & downloaded updates of around 67GB & its downloading more updates. The server shows me some updates are waiting to approved. but when I click the link for those updates I get following error message.
