Hi,
we have a requirement for windows patching in a Vmware environment. I've created a windows 2012 64 bit server and installed the WSUS role and am using the windows internal DB.Installing the role and other options like synchronize with Window update was pretty simple. I ad noticed .NET 3.5 was not installed and when I try to install it now, I get the do you want to specify an alternate path ...
In AD > Active directory users and computes > I've created a new OU called WSUS and added a test vm to the OU
In GPO > under WSUS OU > create a GPO and have enabled auto update , added http://WSUShost:8530.domain.com
Right clicked on GPO for the WSUS OU and enabled the policy
Then I did gpresult /r but I could not seethe server under computer settings
In the test server, I applied the GPO > gpupdate /forceand also issuedwuauclt.exe /detectnow
On the WSUS server, created a group called WSUS and chose GPO for updates.
Moved the test server from unassigned to WSUS group > approved windows 2008 updates and issuedwuauclt.exe /reportnow /detectnow on test server
Registry settings are
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
'TargetGroup"="ALL COMPUTERS"
"WUServer"="http://wsuspw001:8530.domain.com"
"WUStatusServer"="http://wsuspw001:8530.domain.com"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"EnableFeaturedSoftware"=dword:00000003
"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
"AUOptions"=dword:00000000
"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000
"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000001"
When I try to run the update, I get the following error
I tried to install the server diag, but got this error " do you need to specify ..."
and on client diag,
on the client, I can check updates online and install them from windows update, but that defeats the purpose of WSUS pushing updates
I appreciate help and advise. Thanks
