Machine rebooting on its own time

$

0

Hi Team,

We have the below GPO settings to patch our SQL servers. The servers are updated with below GPO. 

The servers are getting patched and reboot is not happening as expected. They are getting rebooted during business hours.  I want the servers to be rebooted post patching .  

Is there a settings so that i can enforce the reboot the servers post patching?

is there a registry entry or settings to check the max time the server waits for the reboot post patching?

Windows 10 1809 Feature Update

Now that Microsoft has re-released v1809, I've been looking for it on my WSUS server.  It exists but it is showing no update status for any of my computers.  Most of the computer in my environment have been upgraded to v1803 without an issue but I can't seem to figure out why v1809 show no status at all (failure, needed, installed/not applicable, no status).  Anyone else seeing this?

Win 10 1703 upgrade to 1803 via WSUS

$
0
0

Newly rebuilt WSUS on server 2016.
Recently inherited the role and the servers where blown away and rebuilt.

So most of our Win 10 machines are currently 1703, we want to upgrade to 1803.
None of the machines have registered an interest in the 1803, but want the feature upgrade to 1809.
Currently the 1803 update is Approved but the 1809 is Unapproved.

Is there a way we can manipulate the machines to take 1803 and not the latest 1809 that is available.
We also have a bunch of win 7 machines with appropriate memory and processor to get an upgrade as well.
They have also registered an interest in 1809 but not 1803.

do we have to decline 1809 as no testing has been done for it yet on our internal systems.

WSUS can't download updates

Hi all

Help needed here.

Yesterday I've installed WSUS on my Server 2016. It found all the needed updates, and just for testing I added 1 machine to perform updates to. The problem is that WSUS can't download these updates at all.

I aprooved first one just for testing, but nothing changed.

Does anyone has any ideas ?

WS 2016 is running on latest updates.

Server 2016 Client Contacting, But Not Reporting to WSUS (Also Server 2016)

$
0

I just recently setup a WSUS server in my Windows Server 2016 server. I did disconnect the database to move it to a different drive, but have reconnected it. I have cleared out some expired updates and run the Server Cleanup Wizard.

I finally got a client to contact WSUS and can verify that I see the registry key pointing to the WSUS server's address stated in the GPO I deployed. I can also verify that the client is receiving the GPO through gpresult /r /scope:computer. However, I cannot get the client to report its status back. When I try to check for updates on the client (Server 2016), it receives the following error code: 0x8024401c. I have run wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow, wuauclt.exe /reportnow and have yet to determine what the issue is.

I ran a batch script that stops wuauserv, deletes the registry keys, clears the Software Distribution folder, starts BITS, and then starts wuauserv, and everything cleared except for two registry keys which it was not able to find:

C:\Windows\system32>reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v AccountDomainSid /f
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

C:\Windows\system32>reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v PingID /f
ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value.

I have verified that the BITS service, WSUS Service, and Windows Installer are all running. The application pool's identity has access to the WsusContent folder. My client can navigate to http://host:8530/selfupdate/wuident.cab and download the file (plan to move over to HTTPS once I get this working).

I have run this: "C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\wsusutil.exe" postinstall /servicing

I do notice that the worker process for IIS is consuming a lot of memory (80% - 90%) with my CPU fluctuating (50% - 80%). My AppPool crashes randomly sometimes. The settings for my AppPool are:

Enable 32-Bit Applications: False

Queue Length: 25000

CPU Limit (Percent): 0

CPU Limit Interval (Minutes): 0

Idle Time-Out (Processor, in minutes): 20

Ping Enabled: False

"Service Unavailable" Response Type: TcpLevel

Failure Interval (Minutes): 10

Private Memory Limit (KB): 0

Request Limit: 0 

The memory over-utilization might be a problem, but I wanted to reach out and see what could be done. I do show that the server may be under-spec'd (understatement) with just 4GBs of RAM, so this will need to be bumped. The total virtual memory is at 8.30 GBs and total available is only 667 MB. The page file is 4.31 Gbs.

Hi, I am getting Error: Connection Error in two of the WSUS servers. Normally a couple of restarts usaully gets me the console from the server, or by connecting to the WSUS server from other WSUS Update Service consoles. But for the last two/three days I am not able to do that. I checked the Application logs in the server after a reboot of the server. After about 10 min's of a restart, the servers come up with the following Even ID.

13042: Self-update is not working.

12002: The Reporting Web Service is not working.

12012: The API Remoting Web Service is not working.

12032: The Server Synchronization Web Service is not working.

12022: The Client Web Service is not working.

12042: The SimpleAuth Web Service is not working.

12052: The DSS Authentication Web Service is not working.

12072: The WSUS content directory is not accessible.
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.
   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.HealthMonitoring.HmtWebServices.CheckContentDirWebAccess(EventLoggingType type, HealthEventLogger logger)

Any idea how I can go back to not having all these errors and hopefully connect to the console?

WSUS SQL and Windows Updates...

$

Hi Guys,

We have received complaints from our offices over in Europe regarding very slow responses on a few servers namely SQL and Print Server. When we took a closer look we saw that CPU was maxing out at 100%. Further investigation revealed that svchost.exe was the culprit and it seemed that WSUS was one of the processes taking up the CPU. When we stopped the WSUS service CPU usage dropped dramatically.

The server actually states that it needs updates but it does not appear to be downloading anything. Why would WSUS hog all the CPU Usage if it is not carrying out any updates processing?

BTW - we have not rebooted the server after the latest updates which were back in September.

Any help in troubleshooting this would be great.

Regards.

Synchronization issues?

Just want to know if anyone else is experiencing synchronization issues starting around 24 hours ago with WSUS?

I have and spent a couple hours last night trying to resolve. It seems this has happened in the past with WSUS, and it looks like both times were an issue on MS side, so I'm trying to determine if it's something on my end or theirs so I don't waste too much time.

Thanks fellas.

WSUS WIll not Synchronize

We are running Server 2016 with WSUS version 10.0.14393.2636. Up until 2 days ago, all was working as it should. Starting Syesterday, synchronization started to fail and the console would crash when I clicked on Synchronizations (at 44%). I used SQL management studio to connect to the Windows Internal Database and cleared out the synchronization history. Now i can I can open the synchronization pane but it will not synchronize. I have made all of the IIS tweaks recommended in other posts to include:

Queue Length - 25000

CPU Limit Interval - 15

Service Unavailable response type - TCPLevel

Failure Interval - 30

Max Failures - 60

Private memory limit - 4096000

I am receiving Event ID 10022. The last catalog synchronization attempt was unsuccessful.

In the WSUS console, I see the following error: The upstream server experienced an unexpected error. Try again later. the synchronization details are as follows:

We do not use a Proxy server and we are not getting any drop at our firewall.

I have run a server cleanup both through the GUI and PowerShell

I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall but I will if that is the only option.

Not sure where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a fresh install of Windows Server 2019 and I am stuck at installing Windows Update KB4467708. 
Windows Update is stuck at "Downloading - 100%". 
I manually downloaded said update from Microsoft Update Catalog and it shows that it is successfully installed.
However, in Update history, it shows that the update failed with an error "0x80240034".
If I re-run the Update file, message shows that it is already installed
I troubleshoot as per several articles such as https://howtofixwindows.com/windows-10-1809-update-fails-to-install/
and several other technet articles.
I have installed Windows Server 2019 on a Physical Server and on a Virtual Machine but same issue with Windows Update KB4467708.
Any insights is much appreciated. Thank you.

I wanted to try out a test 2019 WSUS server. Everything seemed to go smoothly, however when I go look at All Computers, I get a system node crash.

I looked at the possibility of it being the same as the bad BIOS name, but I do not seem to see any errors.

The error is as follows:

The WSUS administration console has encountered an unexpected error. This may be a transient error; try restarting the administration console. If this error persists, 

Try removing the persisted preferences for the console by deleting the wsus file under %appdata%\Microsoft\MMC\.
