I have a problem with logging and recording of Event ID 19 - WUA Update Installation. We need to use this event to keep a record of what updates have been applied and when. Description of problem below:
On a new, fresh build server, not joined to any domain, if we do Windows Updates each update inserts an Event ID 19 that includes the name of the update and the KB number as we would expect.
If we join the server to our Development domain, which includes policy settings to use a WSUS server and apply any updates then as expected we get the Event ID 19 recorded in the Event log.
However, if we join the Server to our Live domain, which also has the same WSUS settings (except different server name), and we apply any updates then we do NOT get an Event ID 19 recorded in the Event Log. I have checked the Group Policy settings between the two domains and they are almost identical. The only differences are some names etc. that are different in Development from Live. Every other setting is exactly the same.
What's even more curious is that if we remove the server from the Live domain and return it to being stand alone i.e. not part of any domain, and we do any updates then the Event ID 19 still does not get recorded in the Event logs.
There has to be something that is stopping this Event 19 from being recorded but I cannot for the life of me figure out why.
Any ideas anyone?
