Hi,

I am unable to uninstall Windows Update KB3102429 from Windows Server 2012. 

Getting Error "Update for Microsoft Windows (KB3102429) is required by  your computer and cannot be uninstalled".

We need to remove this Update to run crystal report. 

Can any one help me ?

Thanks

Dear Friends,

I would like to know how do I check the latest released date of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 security updates.

On which date or month Microsoft last released security updates for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Is there any way to get the notification by email when Microsoft releases security updates, Patches or Hot fixes.

I would really appreciate is anyone can provide me the link where to check latest security update releases of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Thanks,

After a nightmare of trying to install and uninstall SQL Server 2008 R2 on my DC, WSUS broke. 

I edited the registry to get rid of the SQL Server stuff and uninstalled WSUS and rebooted. 

I reinstalled WSUS using WID database and now I get the following error at the end of the log file during post-installation:

016-05-18 12:09:28  Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.CommandException: Failed to set service MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID to automatic start

My previous post seems to have disappeared into the void in terms of getting responses, and in any case, the reason for the original post has evolved. This is the original post..

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/69754e08-7a2a-4481-bd0b-4edd725ff960/wsus-30-server-broken-cannot-sync-recognise-clients-clear-updates?forum=winserverwsus

I apologize if this is not the right way to do it, but I'm getting frustrated and anxious to resolve this issue and I really need your help.

The situation is this. When I install the Win 2008 R2/WSUS/IIS etc at home everything works fine. When I take the hard disk and install it in another server at another location all clients get the error 80072EFD.

I've uninstalled the WSUS role (including database, content etc) at the target location and reinstalled it to no avail, then brought that drive back home and tried it to find that it works perfectly.

The only difference hardware wise between the two servers is the Video card.

Network wise, I have a 192.168.1.1/24 network, whereas it is 192.168.0.1/24 at the other location. Infrastructure wise, things are essentially identical. 8 port gigabit switches from D-Link and/or Netgear and nothing else in between.

I use NBN fiber at home and the other location uses ADSL 2+

I've run the solarwinds diagnostic utility and I've checked my server settings via the WSUS documentation.

I've tried with firewalls turned off on clients and on server.

I can only go to the other location on the weekend, hence delays in responding.

I've been holding off plugging in my valid Win 2008 R2 Technet key because things aren't working properly. I don't want to waste the activation/key.

Please help.

Thanks

Tanya

Update: I have moved hist entire network to 192.168.1.1/24. Reconfigured all static devices, and set the server to exactly the IP address it had here at my place. Disabled firewall and malware bytes on server and client.

wuauclt /reportnow does not error, but the server does not detect the PC, and attempts to check for updates still get 80072efd. So got the SSD dropped off here, and tried again. It works perfectly.

God this is sooo frustrating :(

Single Primary Site running SCCM 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012 R2.

WSUS on same server using Ports Http: 8530 and HTTPS: 8531 and is using SUSDB as database.

Everything was working and issue started last week. No changes were made.

We get following WSUS errors

I then ran the WSUSutil.exe checkhealth command and in event viewer, get a few different errors:

You name it, I've tried it. Got the latest WSUS installed on Server2012R2 and about a month ago, for no apparent reason, workstations no longer report to the WSUS server. I've been through these forums and elsewhere on the Internet trying different things, and nothing has changed the fact that workstations will not report to the WSUS server. I've even uninstalled WSUS, removed all traces of it  from the hard drive and the registry, and reinstall it. No change. I get get from the windows update site online with no issues. but not from the WSUS server. There is one error message I'm getting for which I find nothing on it, so I don't even know why it occurs.

When I run the Windows Update diag tool on a workstation, everything is "fixed" except for this entry:

Windows Update Error 0x80072EFD (<date> T <time>)    NOT FIXED

Any takers out there? Yes, I can connect to http://server:8530/SelfUpdate/wuident.cab and download it with no issues.

Hi, I still have problems with my WSUS server running on Windows Server 2012 R2.

KB3148812 broke my WSUS, like everyone, so I waited for KB3159706 to be released.

After installing KB3159706 and doing the manual steps, my WSUS seemed to work fine at first sight, but in fact it's not...

Without doing anything particular, the WSUS seems to crash randomly 2/3 times per day : when it happens I can't connect to the WSUS console, and the clients can't reach the WSUS server to get updates, that's really annoying...

The only thing I can do is reboot the Windows Server to get the WSUS back, but you understand that I can't do that every 4 hours...

WINDOWS 7 WORKSTATIONS / SETUP FOR A WEEK NOW / SHOW AS "NOT REPORTED YET.: IN WSUS.....?????  lOGFILE SHOWS.....

We have an issue where if our clients download updates during office hours, they choke off the limited bandwidth they have.  I'm wondering if there's a way for WSUS to give clients a schedule of when it's okay to download updates?  We'd like them to only download updates in the evening or at night.  

The other option may be preventing them from downloading while at certain IPs or subnets.  But that seems more complicated.

Hi,

when performing Search under All Updates node, does the result show MS Catalog search or WSUS DB search?

Good morning,

Someonehas been throughthisfolderaccess issue.
I've givenfull permission tothenetwork service andwsusadministratorsand stillcontinue withthis error.

ID error 12072.

after pushing IE11 through WSUS in status report I see latest Cumulative KB is downloaded (so should be installed under next cycle). Just to be sure... I guess that all other Cumulative KB that approved for install will not be pushed to the machine.

Correct?

Also, probably all previous Cumulatives could be declined now (of course after insuring that IE11 is installed on all the machines).

So we have recently integreated WSUS into SCCM 2012, meaning that WSUS updates are now provided through Software Centre instead of through the Windows Update client. This is working as expected.

However, we are utilising Kaspersky Endpoint Security, which has a Software Vulnerability Report function that we are keen to use. This would notify us of any machines that fail to have all their updates installed. This is a simpler interface than using SCCM Reporting. When searching for vulnerabilities, Kaspersky's network agent uses the Windows Update Agent service to check into WSUS for updates. This function isn't working correctly on our clients, as it manages to detect ONE single Windows Update. I have an example transcript taken from the WindowsUpdate.log file below:

As you can see from this transcript only 1 update was found. This was taken from a test machine that was recently built and was missing a large chunk of updates.

We also have in our infrastructure devices running traditional WSUS on a different server (without SCCM), which are reporting in fine and Kaspersky detects missing updates correctly.

We have determined with Kaspersky that the issue lies with the Windows Update agent and not their software. Can anyone advise if the issue is because we are using SCCM for updates (and so the Windows Update agent doesn't perform correctly) or that there is another issue that can be resolved?

Hi All!

This bloomin' update has caused me pain on 4 of my R2 servers. All were fixed by removal or post installation tasks, except one.

Clients are reporting in the console regularly (and are listed as needing updates), but windows update on all the clients is simply ticked green, reporting no new updates are available. The update logs are fruitless, simply saying "0 updates available in 0 categories".

Have 100 percent done post installation tasks for KB3159706 - also tried editing web.config file even though I'm not using SSL. Have also un/re-installed KB3159706, but to no avail.

Connectivity to the iuident.cab file works, and I'm prompted for download.

Logs on both server and client show nothing of note.

Any thoughts/further tests to narrow down issue would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,

Doug.

Here is client update log for perusal:

==================================

Event ID 13042 is poping up from time to time, but when I check synchronizations and updates are working.

WSUS is placed as a custom site on the server as port 8530/8531 checked the bindings and they are in place, I followed trouble shooting at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2000598 and the only thing that I can't change is the default site's binding towards port 443 for ssl as I need that for outlook anywhere.

I would really appreciate any kind of help regarding this issue.

http://WSUSServerName/iuident.cab or  http://WSUSServerName:8530/iuident.cab it doesn't connect on client computer, but it connects without a problem from server.

It seems that it's a DNS issue, when I tried opening the same page with IP instead of hostname is worked without a problem...

We have a Windows 10 Pro laptop which was originally setup with Office 2010 Pro Plus. The machine was later repurposed to a different staff member and Office Pro Plus 2007 was installed, however WSUS reports 37 updates (all of which are Office 2007 updates) are needed which we are unable to install. This is likely due to the wrong option selected the first time Word is opened prompting the user to install updates.

Is there a registry edit that will cause the "Install Updates" pop-up to reappear which appears when one the Office 2007 Suite applications is initially installed?

Thanks

Hank Vare

Hi,

We have some clients that does not see the upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10. From the WSUS point of view, the clients reports that they need them, and the files are downloaded. But when i login to the windows 7 client, it does not show, it only say that its up to date. Sorry for Norwegian language... :)

It has found other updates, its only this one thats a problem...

Any suggestions ?
