Version 6.3.9600.16384

 I am looking to have all Critical and Security updates approved to a group of computers within my WSUS environment.  My issue is that as far as I can tell, when an entire classification of updates (i.e. security) is auto-approved WSUS will download those updates to my WSUS server even if I have no computers which need these updates.  I am setting up a new WSUS server for this purpose.  The amount of download required on the initial sync was something on the order of 150+ GB's.  I do have my classifications as narrowly set as I can we do have several 2008 and 2012 servers.   I have found a third party solution that seems to accomplish this, but it is older and wonder if it is commonly used or if I am missing something.

WSUS Smart Approve

So I have a few questions:

1. Is auto-approval of all security commonly used (from a cursory glance it appears a WSUS administrator manually approving updates is more common)?

2.  If it is employed, what are the ways one can reduce the downloads,?

3.  This large initial download, is it cleaned up when no longer needed?  

      If I go in after the fact and Decline all non-needed update will they be deleted and the disk space reclaimed without corrupting the WIM database?

4.  Does anyone have any experience using the above linked (or other) 3rd party solution?  That includes paid as well.

Thanks I really appreciate it!

Hello. Thread name is the question. I have read, that's is the problem of Windows 2k3/IIS6, but I'm using 2012 server and IIS 8. I have this error only on part of clients, so it's not WSUS error (I think). We're also using proxy server (Ubuntu\Squid). Last lines of UpdateLog:

Windows is sh*t!

Hello,

I need to upgrade my in-house WSUS server.

Here's what I am wrestling with:

Should I roll out a WS2012R2 box and run it on that? OR should I wait for WS2016 and run it on that?

Thoughts are appreciated. Esp. if there's a new version of WSUS coming in WS2016...

Hello, I have problem to update company computers (about 300) from Windows 10 Pro build version 10240 (installed version) to newest Windows 10 anniversary update 1607. Updates are delivered from our WSUS server (Windows Server 2012 R2) with latest updates and all computers are set (via GPO) to download and install updates from wsus (and wait for reboot). I approved updates to 1607 (KB3176936) and when I check for updates on computers I get option to download and install "Feature update to Windows 10 Pro, version 1607, en-us, Retail", but after couple minutes of download and install I get error message:

There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help:

Retry

After this may help: isn't any error code or anything.

Hi all,

I am having issues with one of our  WSUS Clients updates. The client (windows server 2012 r2) get updates, but it is not automatically installing. I am using group policy settings for client's side. here are the settings. 

Always automatically restart at the scheduled time

Configure Automatic Updates

Specify intranet Microsoft update service location

Enable client-side targeting

This group policy works on correctly on all our clients except one. 

i have tried followin to troubleshoot.

> On client's computer in IE. I had ran wsusserver/iuident.cab and it does prompt me to download a file.

 > i tried "wsusserver and it brings iis welcome screen.

> Restart the Windows Update service (sc stop wuauserv; sc start wuauserv)

HELP-me. Please!

We are running Microsoft SQL Server 2014 build 12.0.5000 which is Service Pack 2

In our WSUS server, Microsoft SQL Server 2014 RTM Cumulative Update (CU) 14 KB3158271 is showing up

This website shows the various builds of SQL Server 2014

http://blogs.sqlsentry.com/team-posts/latest-builds-sql-server-2014/

The update showing up in WSUS is build 12.0.2569 which was released in June. Why is an older update for SQL even showing up in WSUS?

Please find the logs taken from windowsupdate.log

Last week i setup a new WSUS server, with the same configurations as the old one. The old one was deleted when i feelt that the new one worked fine.

After a while the new WSUS server stopped giving all of the updates to the user's computers. It's only around 7 updates that is missing on every computer but that is still to much.

Help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The event id 364

I am looking at setting up a new WSUS Environment to replace out existing WSUS server this running 2008. I would like to get some suggestions on best practice, as I have two options for the new environment.

Option 1. Setup a master WSUS server and 3 down stream servers, one server for Desktop to test updates, one server for production updates and one server for Server updates.

Option 2. Setup one WSUS server and control updates by groups, one for desktop to test updates, one for prod updates, and one for Server updates.

The only problem I see with option 2 is that I would have to search through approved updates after I send them to Desktop testing and then try and find them to approve for Prod. Also we are sitting at 99801 updates for all the systems/products we are using.

So any suggestions would be great, Thanks.

WSUS server running, GPo directs clients to update from and report to WSUS.

After working correctly for some time, I now discover that clients are failing updates from our WSUS server. Ever freshly installed clients Win 7 Pro UK with Service Pack 1 with no 3rd party software installed

First time WU is run, users are promted to install an updated version of WU. After this, nothing happens.

WSUS tells me "This computer has not reported status yet"

Errors in windows update logs looks like this:

First it tells me: WU client version 7.5.7601.17514

(after what seems to be a couple of failed selfupdates)

From here every WU fails (with svchost stalling af 25%):

And nothing happens for 10 min. (Except for svchost taking 25% cpu).

What I have done:

Declining some of the language packs

I ran WSUSutil reset

I ran WSUS troubleshooter on the client. It told me things like "wsus server registration is missing or corrupt" 

Other things to try - reinstalling WSUS server?

Regards, Lars.

We are experiencing an issue where the two Registry Keys are being constantly removed from: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate.

We have created a WSUS GPO which enforces Windows Update configuration as per our requirement (nothing special), however these two keys keep disappearing. If I run GPRESULT /R it will show that the GPO has applied, and if I run GPUPDATE /FORCE the two keys will reappear, however, after a few hours they will disappear. There are no local policies that are configured to be overwriting this GPO.

To further troubleshoot, I created a TEST OU at the top of the domain and moved one server into it (to have a clean policy on the server I removed it and rejoined it to the domain). I blocked inheritance to TEST OU and assigned only WSUS GPO. Now this server only has this single GPO assigned to it. The issue remains. I am running out of ideas. if anyone could help that would be great.

Thanks

I have set WSUS updates to install automatically using group policy at 03:00. The updates kick off and install automatically fine and then performs the reboot. User then logs in next morning and it detects that it needs another 7-10 updates and prompts user to install. Is there any way of getting the updates to trigger again after the first updates to automatically install after the reboot rather than sitting there in the morning waiting for user intervention?

Thanks

Hello Everybody,

after installing two time a WSUS at a Windows Server 2012 R2 and hours of research, I would like to ask for help.

So what I have done:

• Installing Windows Server 2012 R2 this server is in our DMZ, so I opened http und Https for syncing with Windows Update and Port 8530 and 8531 for the clients
• Installing all Updates
• Installing the WSUS Features here I added at the Point .Net framework HTTP Activation for the manual post installation steps after installing KB3159706. I also added .Net Framework Features für Report Viewer 2008.
• I use the WID Database
• Install all updates for WSUS and do the post installation steps for KB3159706
• Than I bought a certificate and secure the server with ssl using http://www.wsus.de/de/HowTo/Kommunikation-zwischen-WSUS-und-Clients-mit-SSL-verschluesseln without ca (I bought one).
• Yes after that I restarted IIS and the server

• The Client Web Service is not working.
• The API Remoting Web Service is not working.
• The DSS Authentication Web Service is not working.
• The SimpleAuth Web Service is not working.

and last but not least:

• Content file download failed.
  Reason: CRC verification failure.

Did somebody have suggestions how to fix it?

Many Thanks

I'm installing on WSUS on our current web server(VM), it installed correctly but caused all of our other websites on the server to have a HTTP Error 500.19, I was able to fix the sites by completing the steps from a website, I can't post links but I will include the steps I completed:

To resolve this situation, review the ApplicationHost.config (locate it in under C:\windows\inetsrv\config). In the ApplicationHost.config find these lines :<scheme name=”xpress” doStaticCompression=”false” doDynamicCompression=”true”
dll=”C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll” staticCompressionLevel=”10″
dynamicCompressionLevel=”0″ />

Found it ? okay, it’s time to deal the situation. run this executable with the following parameters: %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name=’xpress’]

This command will disable the suscomp.dll which is being installed by the WSUS. the compression schemes are defined globally and loaded in every application Pool. when WSUS x64 register this dll it will result this error when x64 version of suscomp.dll attempts to load in an application pool which is running in x32 mode.

After completing those steps all of my websites are working correctly now, but by removing that compression method does that stop WSUS from working correctly?

I'm still getting this error on synchronization:

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.
