Windows 2012 WSUS Unable to connect to server after post installation
This has happened to me on three different WSUS servers one server being the upstream server the others downstream replicas. All of the servers are running Windows 2012, I have install the WSUS service, IIS and am using the WID database. The installation run normally, I run post configuration, and synchronize with the upstream server, before I leave for the day client computers and servers are reporting to the new down stream server and everything appears to be running well.
On three occasions I have come back into work and found that the WSUS server is not working on one of the servers and when I try to connect to the server I recieve the error "Cannot connect to <Servername>. Please make sure the Post-Installation task is completed successfully in that server. If it was, please verify if the server is using another port or different Secure Socket Layer (SSL) setting.
I have not implemented SSL on these servers yet HTTP is still on port 80 and WSUS is on 8530.

Client Not reporting
Hello all,
I am having issues, in the following scenario:
- WSUS server in domain A and i am trying to patch servers in domain B, there is no trust with those domain.
- WSUS is in SSL
I can see servers from domain B in the WSUS but they are only contacting and not reporting.
I have tried running this script
#############
net stop wuauservcd %systemroot%
ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v AccountDomainSid /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v PingID /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientId /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientIDValidation /f
net start wuauserv
net stop bits
net start bits
net stop cryptsvc
cd %systemroot%\system32
ren catroot2 catroot2old
net start cryptsvc
Wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow /reportnow
################################
But with no luck, the servers are not reporting, another thing i found and not sure if it's related with the issue, is that when i restart the cryptsvc service the catroot2 folder is not recreated.
Did anyone had this issues or this scenario?
Thanks,
Rui
WSUS server will not update
WSUS Clients have different SUSIDs but same Computernames --> possible to get updates from same WSUS Server?
Hello everybody,
I have set up a WSUS server in a virtual environment, so the WSUS is also a VM. Everything works so far with a Test-VM. My problem is now that I clone VMs or respectively create VM from a Template-VM. I want all VMs to get updates from this WSUS. I found out that the SUSIDs have to be different so that the WSUS can differantiate between the two clients. But now I figured out that if they have the same computername there will also be always only one VM which can be registered at the WSUS. The other VM with the same name can not register at the WSUS. I have a Workgroup Environment so I am not working with a domain.
The reason why the change of the computername of the VMs is not an option is, that they have all the software pre-installed and with it also an SQL instance. This SQL instance won't allow the change of the computername.
Therefore again the question: How can I update two VMs with the same computername (but different SUSID) with one WSUS? Is it even possible?
WSUS Server: Windows Server 2016 Std.
WSUS Client1: Windows 10 v1809 LTSC
Windows Server 2016 WSUS Clients shown as "Windows (Version 10.0)"
Dear all,
I have a question to add Windows Server 2016 WSUS Clients to WSUS Server 2012 R2.
In my domain I am using a Windows Server 2012 R2 Server as WSUS Server. Yesterday I installed the first Windows Server 2016 member server in the domain. This member server is a WSUS client, configured by GPO to get updates from the WSUS server.
The member server is shown as client in the WSUS console. I now have sorted the client with "Group by operating system" in the console.
The Windows Server 2016 member server and the Windows 10 clients are grouped to one operating system version group: "Windows (Version 10.0)".
Is this the right way to show the WSUS clients or is there any patch missing at WSUS server?? Has anyone experience with this case? I expect to group the clients to "Windows 10" and "Windows Server 2016".
Helpful answers are welcome! Thank you.
The server is failing to download some updates.
Hey all, I'm getting the "The server is failing to download some updates" error several times daily in my Server Manager console. I checked the event log on the server running WSUS and found repeating event #10032. Googling this I saw that there will be an accompanying event #364 that will state what's causing the error. No joy -- I'm just getting the 10032 errors. I dug into the WSUS log and found this repeating error message:
2018-04-26 07:08:08.616 UTC Warning WsusService.15 ContentSyncAgent.WakeUpWorkerThreadProc Invalid file deleted: e:\wsus1\WsusContent\10\65800D83C93AD4BC7FF77C4B374CED4875CEFC10.cab
I Googled that cab to see if I could find it and my results met my expectation -- nothing. I found a post that said that if there are missing updates to run WSUSUtil reset but that didn't help.
I'm running WSUS Version: 6.3.9600.18694 on Server 2012 R2. Any ideas, suggestions, or recommendations on how to get that cab file back into WSUS?
Thanks,

Windows 7 automatically upgrade to Windows 10
hi,
In the past two days, we found that the Win7 of our employees was automatically upgraded to Win10. How can I prevent the phenomenon of automatic upgrade to WiN10 from Win7?
Our WSUS Server system is Windows Server 2016, and we have also canceled the upgrade of the product category; searched online, it may be related to KB3035583, but I did not find the KB from the WSUS patch, there should be other reasons.
Please also help to deal with it, looking forward to your reply!
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help. "Windows 10 Installation, Setup, and Deployment" forum will be migrating to a new home on Microsoft Q&A (Preview)! We invite you to post new questions in the "Windows 10 Installation, Setup, and Deployment" forum’s new home on Microsoft Q&A (Preview)! For more information, please refer to the sticky post.
Cannot deploy Servicing Stack updates with Windows 2016 WSUS server
I have a problem at two sites where I have a Windows 2016 server running WSUS. I can't deploy any servicing stack updates at either of these sites. This is definitely a problem with the WSUS server, since I can install them manually on all of the workstations with no problem. Also, this problem has been ongoing since the inception of Servicing Stack updates. I've updated the workstations themselves at one site to Win10 1909, but that hasn't made any difference at all.
When I approve the Servicing Stack update in WSUS, it shows up on the workstation for installation. However, the update never downloads. It will sit there at "Downloading 0%" till the end of time. In order to fix it, I have to delete and recreate the Software Distribution folder on the workstation.
I'm looking for some useful, creative ideas as to what might fix this. Please don't quiz me on the basics. I've been using WSUS for many years, so I know that everything is configured properly, the proper policies are in place, and that the update does actually get downloaded to the WSUS server, etc., etc. All other updates install with no problems on the workstations.
Thanks,
Deb

Windows & SQL Server Updates don't install together....
Each month when patch Tuesday rolls around, we use WSUS to approve and install the Windows Server/Windows 10 Cumulative Updates for that month, as well as the .NET Framework, Servicing Stack and Adobe Flash updates (if available that month). We also allow WSUS to publish SQL Server Cumulative Updates when they come out. As long as i have been using WSUS to patch our Windows/SQL Server servers and clients, the Windows and SQL Server updates will not install together.
1. If we only have Windows updates, the Windows updates install in one pass/restart.
2. If we only have SQL Server updates, the SQL Server update installs in one pass/restart.
3. If we have both Windows & SQL Server updates, only the Windows updates install. After the server restarts, the server will show that it still needs a SQL Server update. If i want the SQL Server update installed at the same time, i have to manually connect to each computer that needs it, and install it manually (and restart the server manually).
Is this the expected behavior? Is there an option that allows both to be installed at the same time and not require two passes/restarts? If two are needed, is there a way for us to have the SQL update also install automatically? Let's say i have the updates scheduled for Wednesday at 5pm and i have approved a Windows Server CU and a SQL Server CU. Could the Windows CU install at 5pm, force a restart, then install the SQL Server CU and restart a second time? If not, what options would you suggest for automating the install of both updates in one evening/pass?
Windows 10 not restarting after updates install...
SQL Server Cumulative Updates not showing up as needed in WSUS for SQL Servers that dont already have CUs installed.
The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API.
Has anyone run into the following issue:
The WSUS administration console was unable to connect to the WSUS Server via the remote API.
Verify that the Update Services service, IIS and SQL are running on the server. If the problem persists, try restarting IIS, SQL, and the Update Services Service.

I've removed and installed the service several times and each time the service works for several minutes before crashing, especially while trying to sync.
Any helpful suggestions are appreciated.
Multiple Updates Not Found in WSUS/SCCM for 2020-05
We seem to have an issue of missing patches in multiple WSUS and SCCM environments. This was discovered because we have a contract with a company which helps us evaluate risk and provide lists of Microsoft and other company's patches. This month, there are several patches which are listed by them for deployment which are not available in any of the 3 separate WSUS/SCCM environments which I have access to. Because the issue isn't isolated to one environment, I confirmed that the updates (eg. kb4552964) are supposed to be available in WSUS but are not. Even when we try to import them directly into WSUS from the Microsoft Update Catalog, they never display in SCCM.
Here is the list of patches we got from our vendor which appear to be valid, not expired, etc.:

Thanks in advance
WSUS - Your device is missing important security and quality fixes
Hello technet,
I have implemented and running WSUS with AJ tek WAM script. The problem is, that even after configuration the clients throws this message.
It says "You are not up to date" and "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes." These states are there like half year already.
I have almost all windows 10 product checked, but there is same error on almost all computers.
Windows version of the affected computer is 1803. I would like to add images, but i am unable to, because i am not verified.
Do anyone know how to debug or solve this problem? Updates are comming to clients, but this message still occurs.
Thank you in advance,
Jan Belsan
