WSUS Console Random Crashes

I have random problems with WSUS.

Most things work, but we cannot view declined updates.  When select All Updates and the then select Declined from the drop down, it sometimes causes WSUS console to crash with an error connecting.

We cannot ever remove defunct computer groups.  If we select a computer group and select Delete, it displays an hourglass for a couple of minutes and always fails with an error "An unexpected error occurred."

This is not for just one user.

What can we do for these types of errors?

WSUS console works otherwise except for those 2 problems we have noticed..

WSUS clients talking to sls.update.microsoft.com:443.

Hi

I noticed a number of our servers are trying to get to sls.update.Microsoft.comeven though they are WSUS clients.

I understand that sls.update.microsoft.com is the windows product update site but I would have thought WSUS clients would only go to WSUS for all updates. What might be the problem, if any

Cheers

Strange permission issue when installing WSUS on 2012 R2

I added the WSUS role to a completely new 2012 R2 VM. All available updates installed before adding the role. I set it to store updates locally on E:\WSUS

After the role has been added, Server Manager asks me to allow some "After Deployment Configuration tasks" to be done. I accept. However the action fails without any specific error. When I launch the WSUS Console it asks me for where to store updates. The value I added earlier is already entered (E:\WSUS). I hit OK but after a while it fails and references a log file, see further down below. 

I try to reinstall the role but with same problem. 

I also tried to use C:\WSUS as the location but with the same error.

I have tried to add "Full access" for "Authenticated users" on the folder with no luck.

Thank you,

Jonas

Rogue WSUS updates

Hello all,

I am running a WSUS server Version: 3.2.7600.226 in a 2003 domain environment with about 2500 client computers. I have a GPO that defines the update schedules for our retail servers. The GPO basically allows the client servers to download approved updates anytime, install said updates every Thursday at 02:00 and wait for a manually executed reboot that takes place at 05:00 the same morning. This timing is important as our retail servers run several nightly transaction processes and have a limited window to reboot. Generally this system works as expected but for the past few months I have seen several but not all servers reboot shortly after the update install at 02:00 or less frequently out of nowhere. I generally understand the deadline mechanics of WSUS as well as WSUS server update priority over client updates but we don't configure our updates with deadlines. I have looked at all of our approved updates past and present and none of them show a configured deadline. These unscheduled reboots severely impact our process and I am taking quite a bit of heat for these events. Does anyone know if there are "default" deadlines that may be configured for say 'critical' updates or some other classification? Looking at my configuration I cannot see any other reason why these clients are being driven to reboot off schedule. I have also considered update dependencies but have not been able to find any supporting documentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Downstream server has less updates than the Upstream server.

Hi, I have a DSS (Downstream server) that syncs the metadata from a USS(Upstream server) at our place. I counted the number of updates in the database using the `IsLatestRevision` field in the revision table. They are different on both the WSUS servers.

The DSS has less updates than the USS. The query is as follows. 

SELECT COUNT(*)
  FROM [SUSDB].[dbo].[tbRevision]
  where IsLatestRevision=1

Is this the proper way to count the number of updates, if yes, why there is a mismatch. 
Please help, i am confused on this. Any help appreciated.

No computers are showing up in WSUS console

Hey all, I have WSUS installed on Server 2012R2. I have some test Windows 7 computers in an OU I created and my GPO is linked to that OU (double-checked) but none of my computers are showing up in the WSUS console. I double-checked under Options > Computers and Use the Update Services console is checked. When I Google this issue I keep getting pointed to sites that pertain to Server 2003. I've never set up WSUS before so I'm starting to think that there are some hidden "Gotchas" that got me. Any ideas? Suggestions? Recommendations?

Thanks,

WSUS not working properly on Windows 2012 Server

I have WSUS installed on a Windows 2008 server. I have 5 2008 Servers and recently installed 2 Windows 2012 Server. I also have Windows 7 and 8 workstations. I have a GPO which pushed the WSUS settings to all my machines. I have a separate one for the servers which doesn't install updates, but only downloads and notifies.

For some reason only my Windows 2012 Servers seem to have a problem. I verified that the GPO was in fact pushed to the server registries. Whenever I reboot the server on the login screen to the bottom right it shows that there updates that need to be installed. However, if I go to the Windows Update section I get the message that these settings are set by my administrator and I can not manually install. It says the last time updates were installed on this screen were April 27, 2015. Any ideas where I can check what is preventing the updates. If not, what is the best way to put back the Update to go directly to Microsoft and not thourgh my WSUS internally and I will update these 2 separately.


Thanks,

WSUS Hosted on 2012R2 and Client Reporting Woes

Greetings All,

I've been working on this for the last two weeks and am not getting anywhere.  I'm hoping someone here might have some insight.  I have a WSUS server running on 2012 R2, which has been working flawlessly until July.  I suddenly find myself unable to many of my clients to update to the WSUS server.  Many will update, and the ones who will work and won't remain consistent (except for one broken one I've managed to fix, but no idea how).  There were no implemented configuration changes made to the WSUS server, or the clients, up to the point when I started having the issues.  

The clients are combination of physical machines, virtual machines, DCs, member servers, and desktop machines, but all either 2012R2 or 8.1.  One of the servers that will not report to the WSUS server is the WSUS server itself. :)  These machines will still receive updates but they aren't reporting back.  The issues appear to have started after the July Windows Update Client (KB3065988) went live.

I have tried to post my troubleshooting steps, but the forum keeps killing my message saying it is spam, so I'm trying a short-and-sweet post first. :)

Thanks!
Jeff

Exporting WSUS Updates for manual installation?

August 4, 2015, 2:29 am

Hello, I am hoping that someone may be able to assist me with this. 

I have been asked to look into copying the update files from a WSUS server so that they may be run either from a network location or from a DVD when installing legacy machines. The WSUS server will be decommissioned and there will only very occasionally be a need to run a fresh install of one of the legacy PCs or laptops. 

Because of this, management wants to stick all the updates into a folder and then run a script which will kick off an install of the lot (where applicable).

I've looked at the WSUS content folder but it is obviously divided up into many subfolders. Short of manually opening each of these and copying the files, is there anything I can do? If I DO have to do this manually, do I need both the .cab and the .exe files in these folders? And should I remove the .psf express installation files? I notice a few .txt files too?

Any help gratefully received!

domain users windows update when out of office

Hi,

never thought about... want to ask.

scenario:

laptop running windows gets updates from WSUS.

1. What will happens when out of office for let say 3 month?

Would update agent try to connect to WSUS server and fail or it will be automatically redirected to Microsoft Update?

Or user have to click Windows updated in Control panel?

2.  And let say the same laptop user click check for updates from Microsoft when out of LAN.

He/she uses Windows 7. With the latest and greatest W10 available he probably will get this update.

How properly to eliminate KBs not approved in WSUS from leaking for out of office domain users?

Thanks.

tbXML grows out of control on spanish language SBS servers

May 9, 2014, 3:09 am
$

I know this is an old subject - large WSUS databases. I already know about the solution of removing and putting wsus back. This is not the same issue.

I manage quite a few SBS installations and on some of them I see a problem where the wsusdb has grown beyond its normal 2-4Gb size. Typically it will hit around 20Gb with the vast majority of this space being occupied by the tbXml table.

These servers are always configured to only download spanish language patches. However the tbXml table contains xml details for many languages. I think all languages, though I'm not sure.

I could remove and put back wsus in each case, but this is not going to cure the problem if wsus pulls down the same data again. It doesn't seem to be possible to just do a 'delete from tbXml where languageId=nnn' and remove the other language entries. I've tried this in the past and ended up killing sus. If I remember correctly I have reinstalled wsus completely and seen the problem come back again.

so, anyone got any ideas as to whats going on or how to fix it?
