All windows clients cannot install Windows updates

It's a small office of about ten computers. I noticed that one could not manually check for Windows 7 updates and I started to check the others and noticed the same problem. I logged into the 2003 Server that's hosting the DNS and made sure the forwarders were
good. I changed them to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
After I made the change I ran an IPCONFIG /FLUSDNS on the server and manually restarted the DNS cleint and server service. Then I went over to the workstation that was pointed to that local DNS server and ran and IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS and tried windows updates
again. No luck same error.
Next on the workstation I manually pointed it to the Google DNS IP's above and ran another /FLUSHDNS and it worked. Why won't our local DNS server work if it's using the same IP's? Does it need to be rebooted after changing the
DNS forwarders? I tried running an NSLOOKUP to microsoft.com on our server and it times out. Any ideas?

Correct, the local DNS server is 10.10.10.253 but I have already setup the forwarders above on the DNS server in the properties:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

  • After IOS 8 update, cannot install or update app

    As my subject mentioned, after the ios 8 update, i cannot install or update app.  I have done everything like calling the tech support, follow their instructions etc.. Some of the things i had done were
    Soft reset ipad
    Hard reset ipad
    logout of itune store and login
    delete everything on ipad and restore from itunes.
    All these doesn't work and the problem keeps coming back again.  This is frustrating that Apple would release an update like this that would break my ipad air. On top of that, quite a lot of app are not working eg zinio, evernote.  My ipad air has been in this mode eversince the update release and i had mostly given up to resolve it.  For all other ipad owners, if you want to avoid this anguish don't update to ios 8. 

    You are not alone. Here's one thread
    Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
    If you have the WSJ app installed, delete it and see if that fixes things. It immediately fixed it for me, but not for all people with the problem.

  • I bought my ipad3 in the philppines, after 5months of usage my ipad3 is asking for an update "ios6". I updated it in japan because im working here. After updating i cannot install or update any apps

    I bought my ipad3 in the Philippines and have my settings, after 5months of usage my ipad3 is asking for an update "ios6". I updated it in japan because im working here. After updating i cannot install or update all my apps and whenever i try this statement appears "your account is not valid for use in the japanese store. You must switch to the philippine store before purchasing. What should i do? Do i need to come back to the phil store every time i update?

    Before when its still ios5 i can still download and enjoy apps even here in japan, but now after updating ios6 here, its stock, itunes store no more use from me.

  • "You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications" How do I fix this?

    "You cannot install iWeb Update on this volume. A qualifying copy of iWeb was not found in /Applications." How do I fix this?

    Version 2.0.4 is iWeb 08 and direct publishing via ftp is not available in iWeb 08 and never has been.  You have the option of publishing to MobileMe, but you can publish via ftp, but you need to select the option publish to a local folder instead and then upload using Cyberduck, which is a free and dedicated ftp client. 
    If you want the inbuilt ftp function, then you will need to upgrade your iLife package to either iLife 09 which contains iWeb 09 or iLife 11, which also contains iWeb 09.  For this, you need to purchase both of these packages.  Either go to Amazon and try and get a copy of iLife 09 more cheaply or purchase iLife 11 directly from the Apple store.
    This is what you will need to do and iWeb 08, which is the version you have, never has had built in ftp so that option will never be available to you unless you upgrade which you will have to pay for.  Upgraded and updates are different things.  Updates are just your normal run of the mill software updates and address bug fixes etc., whereas you will need to pay for full upgrades to other packages such as from iLife 08 to iLife 09 or 11.

  • I cannot install iTunes updates as of today.  Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?

    The question apparently needs to be typed in twice...  good work.  Here it is again:
    I cannot install iTunes updates as of today.  Does anyone have any idea what changed with iTunes?

    Is this a distinct issue from the 42404?
    If so, are you getting an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Cannot install the updates for CS5.

    Greetings. I re-installed CS5 when I changed the hard drive of my PC. Now I cannot install the updates although in my old setup, I had no problem and was able to update to CS5.5.
    Should I download and install CS5.5 manually on top of CS5?
    Or should I remove CS5?
    Will my CS5 licence work for CS5.5?

    Each time I turned on the computer I would get the message that several updates to Photoshop were available but could never download them or install them.  Following your March 17th instructions did not do the trick. However after some trials and errors, I managed to get the updates to cs5 installed (unfortunately, I don't know how I managed!). I still cannot get cs5.5 but it's OK.
    Someone from Adobe called me and suggested  that I upgrade to cs6 at a special price but I declined the offer, thinking that at some point in the future, I may move to CC.
    Thank you for your help, it lead me to a solution.

    I cannot install an update on Photoshop 11 because it says I have programs running that must be closed.  I have no programs running and I have restarted my computer twice and am unable to install this update.  Also, I need the update because the tutorial for 11 shows a completely different screen than I have on my version of 11.  Please advise.

    Garbage which operating system are you using?  Have you tried using the Task Manager/Activity Monitor to close the offending application/process?

    is there a way to install this update?

    Hello
    More information would be useful, for example which Mac OS are you running.
    On the left menu item  About this Mac provides useful information.
    Also did you use Software Update to determine the update?
    Using Software Update can ensure you download and install the correct package for your particular Mac and OS version.

    My system info is as follows:

    I already saw this similar topic "VPC7 install failure: Prior to restart " but there is no solution.

    Hi Deguich,
    Generally, the Windows Update issue can be caused by one of the following factors:
    1. The Windows Update service has been stopped.
    2. Corrupted Windows Update Temporary folder.
    In order to narrow down the cause of this issue and resolve it, I suggest you refer to the following steps. After finishing each step, you can check the result again.
    NOTE: Some third party programs can affect the Windows Update service. If you are running any third party applications such as Spyblocker, Internet or web accelerators (programs designed to boost the speed of the Internet connection), security or anti-virus programs (Norton, McAfee, etc.), I recommend we temporarily disable or shut them down and then try accessing Windows Update later. Please understand that we are disabling these programs only for the purpose of troubleshooting and we can re-enable these programs after we finish troubleshooting.
    Step 1: Verify the relevant Windows Update services
    ================================
    1. Click the "Start" Button, in “Search" bar, type: "services.msc" (without quotes) and press Enter. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. Double click the service "Windows Update".
    3. Click on the "General" tab; make sure the "Startup Type" is "Automatic" or "Manual". Then please click the "Start" button under "Service Status" to start the service.
    4. Please repeat the above steps with the "Background Intelligent Transfer Service" service.
    You can also temporarily stop these services, restart the computer, and then start these services again. If any service is missing or cannot be stopped or restarted, please let me know.
    Step 2: Rename the Windows Update Softwaredistribution folder
    ================================
    This problem may occur if the Windows Update Software distribution folder has been corrupted. We can refer to the following steps to rename this folder. Please note that the folder will be re-created the next time we visit the Windows Update site.
    1. Close all the open windows.
    2. Click the "Start" Button, click "All programs", and click "Accessories".
    3. Right-click "Command Prompt", and click "Run as administrator".
    4. In "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type in "net stop WuAuServ" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
    Note: Please look at the cmd window and make sure it says that it was successfully stopped before we try to rename the folder. However, if it fails, please let me know before performing any further steps and include any error messages you may have received when it failed.
    5. Click the Start Button, in the “Search" bar, type in "%windir%" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
    6. In the opened folder, look for the folder named "SoftwareDistribution".
    7. Right-click on the folder, select Rename and type "SDold" (without the quotes) to rename this folder.
    8. While still in the "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type the command "net start WuAuServ" (without the quotes) in the opened window to restart the Windows Updates service.
    Note: Please look at the cmd window and make sure it says that it was successfully started. However, if it failed, please let me know before performing any further steps and include any error messages you may have received when it failed.
    If the issue persists, would you please upload the following information to SkyDrive and provide us the link for analyzing?

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

    3. In the Paint program, click the "Edit" menu, click "Paste". Then click the "File" menu, and click "Save".
    4. The "Save As" dialogue box will appear. Type a file name in the "File name:" box, for example: "screenshot".
    5. Make sure "JPEG (*.JPG;*.JPEG;*.JPE;*.JFIF)" is selected in the "Save as type" box, click "Desktop" on the left pane and then click "Save".
    How to collect the System Information
    ================================
    The System Information can provide us with more information about the current status of the system. I would like to check it for you. Please send it to me using the following steps:
    1. Click the "Start" Button, type "MSINFO32" in the Search Bar and press Enter to start System Information.
    2. On the popup window, on the menu bar, click "File", and click "Save", type a file name and then choose NFO as "Save as type", click "Desktop" on the left pane, and click Save.
    How to collect the WindowsUpdate.log file
    ================================
    1. Click the "Start" Button, type "WindowsUpdate.log" (without the quotes) in the Search Bar and Press Enter. We will see a file named "WindowsUpdate.log"
    2. Now click on the "File" menu and then click on the "Save As".
    3. From the left panel, click "Desktop" and click the Save button.

  • Should I accept all windows updates?

    This is unclear to me. It seems some people have said to not do this since some windows updates can cause problems. I have been having a problem with teh computer not recognizing a monitor (that I have used for years as a 2nd monitor but suddenly quit seeing). It's not clear if a windows or nvidia update caused this. So do I accept important windows updates or not?
    Michael

    I always explicitly pick what I want applied from Windows Update. I refuse to use any drivers from Windows Update.
