Hi,

We have always used just one WSUS server in our environment. We have a site-to-site VPN connecting home office and colo. A recent firewall change prompted us to consider setting up a replica downstream server as VPN users can no longer hit the WSUS server which resides at our local office and we do not want to open port 8530 on the firewall.

Moving the WSUS server to our colo will resolve the issue for offsite VPN users, however are there benefits to creating a replica downstream server at the local office? 

Thanks

Hank Vare

Windowsupdate.log shows the message:

WARNING: DownloadFileInternal failed for http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/v11/2/windowsupdate/redir/v6-win7sp1-wuredir.cab

And the SCEP is not getting updated. Please help!

I'm trying to rebuild one of our WSUS servers (replica server) due to we ran out of space on the drive that held WSUSContent. My goal was to add an external drive (4TB) to the system and re-download the updates from the upstream server.  I used the wizard to completely remove WSUS from the server and than used the wizard to add the service back to the server but pointed it to the new drive.  The computers that report to this server are showing in the computers bucket but show they have not reported yet.

I'm trying to update our win 10 pc's to the latest version 1607. I tried all steps provided by Microsoft to get the decrypted esd files to work.kb3159706

At last I upgraded my 2012 R2 to 2016 but unfortunally still no luck.

Still get the error: File is encrypted, but no key was provided.

Desperately need some help to fix this!

Hi,

I am installing a new WSUS server on Windows 2012 R2.  Do i require to install both KB3095113 & KB3159706?  Most of my PC's are Windows 10.

Can someone please clarify if i require to install both the KB and the order in which it is to be installed.

Does the conflict of KB3148812 & KB3159706 still exist.

TIA

Liby

We have Windows 10 fresh images that will not install updates from WSUS.  They usually fail with error0x8024402f, but occasionally I see 0x80244010.

We are running WSUS version 3.0 SP2 (3.2.7600.226) -- fully patched on Windows Server 2008.  It will be upgraded next year, but I really don't like the idea of all new machines having zero access to updates.  We are a school in a very rural area with limited bandwidth (2 Mbps shared among around 100 staff/students).  Because of this, going straight to Microsoft for updates is not an option!

The problem occurs with both Windows 10 Pro (1511) images and Windows 10 Edu (1607) images.  I have also seen a few Windows 7 machines with signs of the problem.

The log file from PowerShell --> Get-WindowsUpdateLog is HUGE for a text file (~2 MB and over 100,000 characters, which seems odd to me for a fresh install).  Because of this, I can't paste it into this message.

Here is a Dropbox link to it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kskhf52ofatvwoc/WindowsUpdate.log?dl=0     (I would have linked it, but the system is saying something about no links until you verify your account...)

Anything you experts can share that could help us would be greatly appreciated!  We are on an extremely tight budget and can't really afford a $500 support ticket to Microsoft.

Windows Server 2012 R2 Server is unable to download and install updates and below error is generating while trying to download updates from local WSUS server.

Any idea as to what is going on?

Hello,

We used WSUS in Win 2012R2 before, recently I reinstalled the server to Windows 2016 and configed WSUS, same server, name and IP.

I found in WSUS server console, I can see the client (Win7,Win8,Win2008,Win2012,Win2016) and the number of patches required, the client had reported its status to WSUS server; but in clinet side, it appeared "Windows is up to date", all clients have the issue, include new system.

I tried to clean folder "SoftwareDistribution" content in client, I tried to install the latest update to WSUS server, I checked service "BITS, WsusService" is running in WSUS server, but in clinet side still haven't any updates to be pushed.

Patch get installed but after reboot it revert, Only issue with this patch only. Need help to install this patch

Hi All,

I am reinstalling our old WSUS server (installed on W2012 R2) as it is having some troubles with communication with W10 clients.

I associated my first test PC (W10, 1511 version) with that new WSUS, and it sees it correctly as Windows 10 (on old it is shown as vista o_O). The thing is that on WSUS side I see that I have one upgrade - to 1607 version, but my 1511 client is not seeing it. When I check for updates on the client I got info that my device is up to date.

On my other PC that I have upgraded to 1607 manually using MS website, I got similar situation: updates are staging with "100%" of being downloaded but no further action is available:

I heard that WSUS has some troubles with talking to W10 but it was on Windows 2012, I thought on W2016 it would be over, tried to install patch found on that website:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3095113

But it says it cannot be installed on 2016.

So question here is how to make WSUS installed on W2016 working with W10 clients when I cannot apply KB3095113 on it.

Thank you all for any advise!

Cheers,

Hi.

I'd like to hear from WSUS administrators if they are able to deploy drivers with WSUS.

I did that years ago and it worked but on our new WSUS server 2012 R2, it does not work. Drivers are not detected by the clients while other updates are detected. WSUS reporting shows, those drivers are needed nowhere.

If I retrieve such an update file (.cab) from wsuscontent and put it to the test and extract it, I can install the driver within and it suits and is newer than the former driver.

Hello,

I am having an issue upgrading my PCs from 1511 to 1607 using WSUS. I have installed all required updates and followed all appropriate steps found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3159706.  I have put the .esd file type in IIS. The clients are all failing with error code: (Unable to Find Resource:) ReportingEvent.Client.167; Parameters: Feature update to Windows 10 Pro, version 1607, en-us, Retail being reported on the WSUS server. I am running 2012 R2. Any help would be appreciated.

If WSUS installed on a heavy IO loaded harddrive (LUN) of a VM, when deleting unneeded update files by Server Cleanup Wizard, MMC node may halt.

MMC node MAY(only when lots of files need to be deleted) be prompted to be reset when deleting unneeded files if it's running longer than usual. Re-open Update Services MMC will fix it. But it will be appeared again another day when many unneeded files exist.

Hi,

We are experiencing issues updating a fresh Windows 2012 R2 install from WSUS.

After installing 2012 R2 a small number of updates get offered and installed from the WSUS server but then no further updates are offered.

I have to then manually install KB2919442 on the server before KB2919355 is offered which once installed a further 195 updates get offered.

KB2919442 is approved on the WSUS server so I don't know why I have to manually install this update. This update is superseded by a number of other updates however these are not offered.

Any idea's ?

Thanks
