For short we use WSUS under System Centre Essentials to deploy updates and software. Untill now i have not succeeded to deploy updates or Software successfully in one time. Everytime there are different errors on different clients. But i have downloaded for one machine all updates and put it on a dvd. With updateinstaller.exe when i install all updates for the Windows 7 systems then the updates and/or software packages deployed with SCE successfully.
So which errors the updates show every time when updating completely the clients with that dvd all goes well. Conclusion: there are several updates missing on the clients which are needed to install other things like IE10 / several other updates etc.
The problem is that i cannot update every client with the DVD therefore i have WSUS i believe. Problem with WSUS or system centre that there are so many updates i don't know which one to select. Select them all is very time consuming and filtering in System Centre Essentials for lets say Windows 7 is also giving many other updates like flash etc etc and for WIndows 8 which i don't need.
Maybe someone got a idea how to find out which updates are nessesairy? I have looked in the Windowsupdate.log and run baseline security but there are so many updates there....
Another thing which i came across: On everal clients there where updates waiting, goiing to windows update and looked at important updates there was a update which was released 2 weeks ago. The quiestion here is why is it not installed automatically?
I have a policy run for all machines to download automatically updates and install on schedule. The update schedule start at a dspecific time. Could it be that the users are cancelling something? They do not get a message because the gpo setting is download
and schedule install...? Some other updates are installed automaticcally..
