Hello, and thanks for help.  To clarify, I am running Server 2012 R2, and have installed AD DS (as the DC), DNS, IIS, WDS, and WSUS.  I am trying to use this system to image LAN computers with MDT, so have WSUS running is integral to my project.

During an attempt to completely remove WSUS and start over (55k+ updates is too many!), I completely removed with %windir%\WID directory.  Now, no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall WSUS, the post-setup tasks fail with this message:

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start service MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID on computer '.'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The dependency service or group failed to start

I have tried to use powershell to force remove WID, but it never works - just gives met a popup about how to use the feature uninstall app.

I really don't want to have to wipe this system and start over, so any help is appreciated.  My full WSUS Post-Install log is below:

I have a handful of clients that are failing to download a portion of the updates approved for them (NOTE: They are successfully installing other updates pushed out). I've tried a number of different things including recreating the SoftwareDistribution folder on the user's machine, checking the IIS configuration and making sure the virtual /Content folder is pointing to the correct physical path as well as making sure the Self Update directory is present with wuident.cab. From what my online search has returned, it looks like others have had similar issues, but the root cause must be different, because what ended up being the issue for them appears to be working fine on my end. Here's a portion of the WindowsUpdate.log where one of the errors is shown:

Dear All,

I have some question about how to find out the patches location. In my situation, I need to download some Windows Update via WSUS but copy the patches to some servers which are not connected to WSUS. Now I can get the Computer Name and the patches which are need to install on that servers via Powershell.

1. How can I get the UpdateID or FileDigest via Powershell?

2. How can I get the patches location (eg: C:\WSUS\Content\C0\xxxxxxxx)? Which database I need to use if the Powershell cannot show it?

Thanks a lot.

Warm Regards,

Mark_W

Hi,

I'm using WSUS from an automated tool, i'm planing to use WUA to handle installation of my custom application. So is there any limitation with WUA to handle larger installer files approx. up to 700MB.

Thanks!

Dear all,

According to the KB article of KB2938066 after the Installation of this KB Patch on Win2012R2 the WSUS Server Version should change to the Version: 6.3.9600.17038 and the date and the file size of the file Microsoft.updateservices.corecommon.dll should change as described in the KB article. I have several Win2012R2 WSUS Server where this KB Patch is installed but the WSUS Version and the Version of Microsoft.updateservices.corecommon.dll file is 6.3.9600.16384

Is this a bug or do I understand the KB article wrong? What is the latest Version number of WSUS on Win2012R2 ?

Best Regards

Ben

Those 3 error's are poping up as soon as i recive error from WSUS Admin console 

error - "Error: Connection Error"

i did restart the server, restart iis, restart wsusservice, any idea what can this error be?

Hi there,

I am looking for information of the following:

Why pick WSUS 2012 than 2008 R2?

If other nodes are WSUS 2008 R2, can it connect to WSUS 2012?

Thanks in advance.

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?

After spending the morning on google I'm going to post here, windows update failing, my desktop PC updates fine but the servers are struggling, with the error code 80245006. Below is more information I found courtesy of event viewer.

(Having googled I've tried various fixes with regards to services and files on the machine, also the windows update repair tool)

Thanks.

I was downloading the update ... the update downloaded ... finished preparing for installation then dissapeared..

Yes I know it will take time but since Windows 10 has a bug where base image capture using sysprep only works if you dont allow machines to connect to Windows update I MUST use WSUS to pre-patch my base image. Here are all the patches that are missing from the WSUS catalog that I can not see. 

• Security Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3074681)
• Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3074686)
• Security Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3074680)
• Security Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3074679)
• Security Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3074674)
• Security Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3074667)

These patches are not even on the old school Windows Catalog website. Strange given the older preview patches are up there. 

Before you tell me to manually install them, Microsoft didn't post the bits for download. So yes this is my only way to pre-patch my base image. 

Lastly, if any WSUS team members are reading this... it would be swell if WSUS actually reporting Windows 10 as Windows 10 instead of Vista. Windows release day was known for a while now, little reason for WSUS not to be ready. If I could be ready with my base image even with all the hardships Microsoft created for my team then the WSUS team should have been ready with the simple SQL fix for versioning and insisted to the Windows 10 team for the bits for the catalog. Oh and this also means SCCM isn't able to patch Windows 10 ether creating a MASSIVE security hole for domain joined systems. 

Simply disappointed. 
PS: Yes I have added the "Windows 10" category.

I recently inherited a task of fixing a non-functioning WSUS server running on Windows 2012. Theoretically, there should be about 15 servers checking in, but only 2 domain controllers have appeared so far.

Some of the clients cannot ping the WSUS server, so its possible there's some network communication issues. I've been playing with one that can ping it though to see if I can find something wrong with the WSUS configuration itself.

I'm going through this reference -> cc708627 in the TechNet library (the forum won't let me post the complete URL)

This URL to test the source update tree fails

If I go to the URL for WSUS server address plus port #; I get a "403 - Forbidden: Access is Denied" error

The Update Files configuration option is set to "Download update files to this server only when updates are approved"

Not sure where to go from here.

Dear all,

I have setup a WSUS server in my company and it is able to download the Windows Update from Microsoft websites.

Now, the updates are finish downloaded but it does not push the updates to User PCs.

There are 2 error and 1 warning messages always appear in the server's event viewer:-

Warning 1 : Event ID : 7032

Error 1 : Event ID : 13002

Error 2 : Event ID : 12072

Can anyone advise is there any configuration problem on my side?

* Sorry for my poor English.

I have Solarwinds Patch Manager installed on a Windows Server 2012, WSUS1 is installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard and WSUS2 is installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.  When attempting to install KB2734608 as recommended in the Publishing failure message, I get another message on WSUS1 or WSUS2: "The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."

I have been working with Solar Winds Support team but still have the issue have been told I need to contact Microsoft for a solution.  I'm not sure how I can get MS involved if the problem is being presented by Solar Winds.

I looked through the forum and did not see these combined issues.

I have come across updates that should have been approved, but I am not sure if they were actually declined . For instance the All Computers group shows "Not Approved" and the other groups show "Not Approved (inherited)". Why are the other groups getting permissions from the All Computers group? Also, if they were declined wouldn't it say "declined" instead of not approved? When I search for the update it comes up under "Any, Except Declined" and "Declined" under approvals.

Morning,

Attempting to figure out if WSUS is at 3.0, SP2 or some other level in our environment? I did not install them but have to maintain them, update them. Attempting to find out so that I can move forward with troubleshooting issues with errors in the windows update logs of Windows 8.1, Server 2008x, server 2012x which point to update issues/errors.

Here is the info I copied from the registry: HKLM\Software\Microsot\Update Services\Server\Setup

Production is running on Windows Server 2012 R2

  v6.3.9600.16384

Lab is running on Windows Server 2012 Standard

  v6.2.9200.17166

Also if someone could point me to a reference that shows which version of the wsus client I should be using for these I would be greateful!

Assistance, info is appreciated.

Tony

I have been struggling with this issue for many months now and think I have eliminated the clients as the problem.  The issue is that about a third of my clients no longer are getting updates from my wsus server.  I did many things trying to get the clients to download but the problem I believe is in the wsus server itself.  The clients download fromt the internet just fine.  It is only an issue for the wsus server.  I am really unsure where to go from here. 

Here is the windows update post that I opened

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/4b70d43c-8c72-4b4b-942a-3f5beb895fd2/windows-updates-not-working?forum=w7itproperf

Hello -

This is my first time posting on here and I'm not a guru of Microsoft OS...so go easy.

Here is my problem...

I have a WSUS server (called SCRM) that I built and is connected to the internet...it updates all the clients and everything seems to work fine. My problem is, I have closed network with no internet connectivity except to SCRM and I'd like to build another WSUS server (called WRA) on that network and get the updates from SCRM so I can update all the clients on the private network.

When I go to install WSUS on WRA, it fails....because the WSUS install wants to connect to the internet, which of course it can't do and I'm stuck in this loop. I have also tried to download the WSUS 3.0 SP2 and run it on the WRA...no luck there either. I have installed IIS on WRA with no problem. Suggestions??
