Server 2008 SP2 will not install Windows Updates

I receive this error:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8000ffff: Security Update for Windows Server 2008 (KB2653956).
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8000ffff: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Server 2008 (KB2675157).
These are two separate attempts to install the two updates listed.  The first time it failed on the IE9 update so I unselected it and tried the other with the error above.  This has been going on for quite some time.  At first it would install
some updates and not others and now it won't install anything.
I have Symantec Endpoint Protection installed, version 11, and the definition files are up to date.  I ran Malwarebytes and it found nothing.
I read a post about a hotfix called System Updates Readiness Tool but my error (0x8000ffff) was not listed as one of the errors and I hesitate to install it.
I am way behind on updates and really need to get this fixed, obviously.  If anyone has ideas, I would like to hear them.  I have not found anything online that is specific to my situation.
thanks

KB2675157 (MS12-023) is a superseded and EXPIRED update and isn't going to install anywhere at anytime. It's been superseded -18- times since it's original release. You should have KB2809289 (MS14-012 -- released this month) approved/installed for IE9
on WS2008 systems.
KB2653956 (MS12-024) is from April, 2012, and should have been installed EONS ago (but it has been revised a couple of times, so make sure that you have Revision 103 approved and not an earlier revision).
If the CURRENT updates are failing, then YES, you should download and run the current version of the System Update Readiness Tool from the Microsoft Download Center and implement any remediations recommended by that tool.

    Eduardo Alejandro Lazo what specific error do you receive when trying to apply the update?
    I would also recommend checking the installation logs for the updates you are attempting to apply for errors.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.  You are welcome to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion.

  • Why is it that directory server and IAS will not install through a remote Terminal Services session??

     

    Hi,
    I think this can be done in Unix, using telnet, you may log into the
    system and install it.

  • Apps will not install or update after ios 8 installation

    Apps will not install or update after ios8 installation

    The solution that worked for me was to identify the apps that were stuck updating, and then find them on my iPhone.  (You can't search for them, you have to find their icon on your iPhone's desktop.)  Then I deleted those apps.  Then I went back to the App store, and they downloaded/updated like normal.  I did the same thing for the same problem on my iPad, and that also worked.
    Best of luck to everyone.

  • Get-Hotfix InstalledOn property not returning hotfix installed Date and Time on Windows Server 2008 SP2 but works on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

    Hi,
          I am working on a validation script to get the list of hotfixes installed on Domain Controllers every month as part of our monthly DC patching process. I have been successful in getting these details for DC's with (Windows Server 2008
    R2 SP1, Powershell v2.0) using the below command. 
    Get-HotFix -cn $computer | Select-Object PSComputerName,HotFixID,Description,InstalledBy,InstalledOn | where InstalledOn -ge (Get-Date -Day 1 -Format d) | FT -AutoSize
    I execute the above from a jump box with powershell v4.0 (Server 2008 R2)
    However, when I try the same command from the jump box to query DC's with (Server 2008 SP2, powershell v2.0). It doesn't return the InstalledOn date and time. It was giving error for the InstalledOn property and hence I renamed it to $_.InstalledOn. Now
    I don't get error but still no details displayed for InstalledOn property.
    I tried using the below, as could see on few forums that this might resolve the issue. I also tried removing the "where" part but still no installation date returned. 
    Get-HotFix -cn $computer | Select-Object HotFixID, Description, InstalledBy, @{l="InstalledOn";e={[DateTime]::Parse($_.psbase.properties["installedon"].value,$([System.Globalization.CultureInfo]::GetCultureInfo("en-US")))}}
    | where {$_.InstalledOn -ge (Get-Date -Day 1 -Format d)} | FT -AutoSize
    Have tried this locally on the 2008 SP2 DC but still not working. Please advise what is going wrong? 
    Note: If I execute the below command locally on the 2008 SP2 DC, I am getting the InstalledOn output. However, when executed from the jump box with powershell v4.0 (Server 2008 R2) to query
    the same 2008 SP2 DC, it just gives the prompt again without any error or output. This behavior is consistent for other 2008 SP2 DC's in the environment.
    Get-HotFix -cn $computer | Select-Object HotfixID,Description,InstalledBy,InstalledOn | where {$_.InstalledOn -ge (Get-Date -Day 1 -Format d)} | FT -AutoSize

    Hi jrv, I have already tried the Win32_QuickFixEngineering option, which doesn't work either. Apologies for not mentioning the workarounds that I have already tried.
    Get-Hotfix seems to be just a wrapper for Win32_QuickFixEngineering as per the below article. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849836.aspx)
    I have seen a mention of using the WU ActiveX control on few forums, but was too lazy to read it through.
    After rigorous testing, it makes me realize that somewhere the Get-Hotfix dates formatting\comparison isn't working. 

  • Windows 8.1 will not install WSUS Updates

    Hi, I have an issue with Windows 8.1 clients using WSUS.
    I have had a GPO set up to apply to All my computers in my domain, majority of them are Win 7 and WSUS is working perfectly, updates are downloaded and installed automatically and when user shut down, they have the install updates and shutdown option.
    Settings in the GPO are: auto download and schedule the install everyday at 10am from a local WSUS server.
    These settings as stated are working perfectly fine on Win 7 clients and updates are installed with no user intervention.
    However, with the Windows 8.1 clients, the updates are downloaded to the machines from the WSUS server but they are not installed on the computer. There is no option to update and restart or update and shutdown they just sit in Control Panel\Windows Update
    until someone manually goes in and clicks install updates.
    I have installed the required updates onto my WSUS server for Win 8.1
    I have ensured the GPO is applying to the machine which it is, i have also tried settings the 'Install during automatic maintenance' option in the same policy and configuring all options under maintenance scheduler and still nothing.
    I can see that the settings are applying to machines via RSOP and the settings are set and unchangeable in teh relevant areas of Windows.
    Automatic Maintenance runs and the time and date stamp for last run time changes but the updates are not installed as part of this and they are still sat in Windows Updates with the 'Install Updates' button. UNLESS i MANUALLY run the Maintenance process
    from Action Center
    Obviously i don't want my OS update plan dependent on users having to manually navigate to install updates and all this works fine on Win 7 clients.
    Any advice? 

    Is this related?

  • Windows 2008 R2 will not install on ESXi 4.0 Update 2

    Hello,
    I am attempting to install Windows 2008 R2 from an iso downloaded directly from Microsoft on ESXi 4.0 update 2.  The server is a C210-M2.  The iso is booting to the initial install screen properly, but when electing to install I am immediately prompted with "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing."  (See attached image)
    Wondering if anyone has come across this issue yet and what steps need to be taken to install the OS properly.
    Thanks!

    Guys,
    What you want to do is ensure you have the driver loaded in virtual media when installing the OS.  See step 12 in the link below from the Cisco support page.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/b/os/windows/install/2008-vmedia-install.html
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows 8.1 Professional x64: Windows will not run Windows Update after fresh install

    Greetings everyone.  I'm having a strange issue that I can't seem to figure out.  I'm developing an image with the following specs:
    Hardware:
    Dell XPS 12 Ultrabook Convertible
    Haswell i7
    8 GB RAM
    256 SSD HD
    Software:
    Windows 8.1 Professional x64
    Problem description:
    After formatting and partitioning the hard drive (UEFI) with a corporate copy of Windows 8.1 x64, the laptop is booted up in Audit mode.  No OEM drivers or software is installed.  Windows is then activated to the KMS server and verified. 
    I then connect to a hotspot (no proxy required) and open up IE 11.  I click tools and select Windows Update.  The laptop then searches and searches for updates and never finds any.  I've let it search for over 10 hours.  The laptop never
    returns an error message.
    Troubleshooting performed:
    1.  I've tried different copies of Windows 8.1 - same result.
    2.  I've tried installing the OS with different types of media (external hd and multiple bootable USB drives) - same result.
    3.  I've disable the Windows Update service, deleted the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder, restarted the Windows Update service and rebooted laptop - same result
    4.  I've installed this copy of Windows 8.1 on different models of laptops with no OEM drivers or software installed - same result.
    5.  I've installed all of the OEM device drivers in the correct order and ensured that the device manager is clear of bang signs - same result.
    6.  Date and time is set correctly.
    Has anyone else experienced this with Windows 8.1 x64?  If I take a copy of Windows 7 x64 or 8 x64 and install it on this laptop, it updates Windows without any issues.  The problem seems to be with Windows 8.1.
    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

  • Robocopy on Windows Server 2008 SP2 does not copy folder permissions

    When using Robocopy to copy folders and files from one local hard disk to another, using /COPYALL /E /TEE options, the target folder does not contain the source folder's ACL. I've tried other options such as: /COPY:DATSOU or /SECFIX, it made no difference.
    Test scenario: Create a folder on C:, Test1. Add to Test1's permissions a local group with Read, e.g. Backup Operators. The ACL list should have permissions inherited from C:\ plus Backup Operators that's not inherited. Use Robocopy to copy Test1 to C:\Test2, check the ACL on Test2. Backup Operators is missing.
    It looks like Robocopy cannot override the target folder's permissions inheritance, the folder  retains the parent folder's ACL.
    I've also disabled User Access Control in troubleshooting this problem.
    To add to this issue, there's a workaround can be used to ensure the target folder's ACL is the same as the source folder's ACL. It's a two step process.
    1) Use XCOPY source_folder target_folder /I /E /X /T  -  This lays down the directory structure including the ACLs
    2) Use ROBOCOPY source_folder target_folder /COPYALL /SECFIX /E  - This will copy over the directories and files, enforcing the files to receive the parent folder's ACL. The target_folder's ACL remain intact, unaltered from XCOPY command.
    The end result: the target_folder ACL is identical to the source_folder ACL, the files copied to the target_folder will inherit ACL from their parent folder. Both source and target folders and files ACLs are identical.
    ROBOCOPY should do both steps, but doesn't. I've tested this scenario on bare-bones Windows Server 2008, physical and virtual machines.
    Darryl Miller

    To Wendy23,
    Just for clarity, the Windows Server 2008 OS that I ran ROBOCOPY and XCOPY on was the non-R2 version. Microsoft might have fixed this issue in R2.
    You'll probably need to logon as local Administrator or use an account belonging to the local Administrators group.
    Also, open the Command Prompt using "Run as Administrator" (right-click on Command Prompt), then run the XCOPY and ROBOCOPY commands from within this prompt.
    To answer G.Write, the storage is local hard disks.
    Thanks, was a long time ago, I was having a problem with robocopy not copying permissions on a SAN, and was wondering if the SAN was the problem, but your method worked fine for me, thanks.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 will not install when Server 2012 non-R2 installs fine.

    Our company has several Windows Server 2012 servers that installed and work without issues. However, we purchased several Server 2012 R2 licenses to install on the exact same hardware, and at the very beginning of the install process it does not recognize
    any of the hard drives, and cannot continue with the install. I have put the drivers that the non-R2 servers use on a flash drive, and tried to use those drivers during the R2 installs, but none work. This is extremely frustrating, and I want to know what
    my options are? Is it a signed driver issue? Can I disable signed driver checks before installing R2? Thanks for any help.
    P.S. I will even consider downgrading the Server 2012 R2 licenses to standard 2012 if that is even possible? I don't think I can get a refund on the media.

    Contact your server vendor to see if they support 2012 R2 on the platform you are working with.  They are the ones who determine what firmware/drivers get released for what versions of the operating system.
    "R2 2012 and using them for R2 does not work as it just rejects them or says no new device drivers were found."
    Are you trying to load them during the installation process when it gives you the option to load drivers?  I've never seen a 'no new device drivers were found' message at that point because you are specifically telling it which driver to use.
    Yes, the license for a retail copy of the operating system contains downgrade rights.  However, activation keys are different.  You may have to contact Microsoft or the vendor from whom you purchased your copy to obtain a 2012 activation key.

  • Windows Virtual PC (KB958559) will not install, "This update is not applicable to your computer."

    Windows Virtual PC KB958559 never installs. It says "This update is not applicable to your computer." Here are my details...
    Dell Inspiron M6400, Intel Core2 Duo T9550, Hardware Virtualization is present and has been enabled in bios which was updated recently

    Any ideas? I have seen the other posts but nothing seemed to be a solution. Another strange behavior that may (or may not) be related is that when I try to load the "Turn Windows features on or off" the box loads blank.

    Firstly, please read the following article on how to resolve the blank dialog box of “Windows Features”:
    The "Windows Features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, or you receive an error message that includes
    the following code when you try to use Windows Update: "0x80073712"
    Then,

    At last, download

  • Windows Server 2012 CA will not allow Windows XP to autoenroll

    I have a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller with an Enterprise root CA installed.  I have created a client authentication certificate template (2003 compatible).  Domain Computers have Read, Enroll and Autoenroll permissions.  I modified
    the Domain Policy to enable Certificate autoenrollment.  I have two clients on the same subnet with the domain controller, one Windows 7 Ent SP1 and one Windows XP SP3.  The problem:  Windows 7 reboots, has client auth cert installed in computer's
    personal cert store.  The Windows XP machine cannot acquire the certificate.  Event ID 13, source is AutoEnrollment, 0x80094011,The permissions on this certification authority do not allow the current user to enroll for certificates.  Both machines
    belong to the domain.  Running gpudate /force on the XP machine generates an info event stating that the computer security policy has be applied successfully, then the autoenrollment error.  I've setup autoenrollment dozens of times without any
    problems.  The only thing different in this environment is that the CA is installed on Server 2012.  I could be something else, but the only real difference is Server 2012.  There are no errors on the server.  It is like the client just
    cannot talk to the server at all, but it's getting its policy from that server.
    Any ideas?

    What works differently?
    Windows XP clients
    will not be compatible with this higher security setting enabled by
    default on a Windows Server 2012 CA. If necessary, you can lower the
    security setting as previously described.
    Try run this command:
    certutil -setreg CA\InterfaceFlags +IF_ENFORCEENCRYPTICERTREQUEST
    Restart the certification authority
    net stop certsvc
    net start certsvc
    INFO FROM LINK:
    What value does this change add?
    The CA
    enforces enhanced security in the requests that are sent to it. This
    higher security level requires that the packets requesting a certificate
    are encrypted, so they cannot be intercepted and read. Without this
    setting enabled, anyone with access to the network can read packets sent
    to and from the CA using a network analyzer. This means that
    information could be exposed that might be considered a privacy
    violation, such as the names of requesting users or machines, the types
    of certificates for which they are enrolling, the public keys involved,
    and so on. Within a forest or domain, leaking these data may not be a
    concern for most organizations. However, if attackers gain access to the
    network traffic, internal company structure and activity could be
    gleaned, which could be used for more targeted social engineering or
    phishing attacks.
    The commands to enable the enhanced security
    level of RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_PKT on Windows Server®  2003,
    Windows Server®  2003 R2, Windows Server®  2008, or Windows

    Restart the certification authority
    net stop certsvc

    If
    you still have Windows XP client computers that need to request
    certificates from a CA that has the setting enabled, you have two

  • MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2013) will not install Windows 8.1 Pro under Boot Camp?

    Have spent many hours trying to sort this out. I was told this morning in the end by a 'Senior Advisor' @ Apple that Boot Camp does not support Windows 8.1 Pro so effectively it seems like my only option for a new machine purchased earlier in the week is to return for a refund.
    This despite the Apple Spec saying "
    Windows 8: Windows 8 or 8.1, Windows 8 or 8.1 Pro (Boot Camp 5 only)"
    The subject has been aired in thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5474320?start=585&tstart=0 but it has been suggested I post a fresh thread.
    I have purchased a new 8.1 Pro license, so this is not an upgrade. I have followed the Boot Camp instructions, including getting the update for this model spcifically, but the nearest I got to a successful install returns soemthing of the like 'Unable to update boot settings' or the like and installation cancels. My machine is a mess I guess now, but in a final effort - does anyone have the step by step 'idiots guide' to working through the setup successfully? I don't want to get involved in massses of messing around with files as this should clearly not be necessary for achieving an advertised solution on a new machine bought within the last week should it?
    Appreciate any help - I have up to seven more days left in my option to return for a full refund..... and maybe buy a Dell instead?
    PS : We have many Apple products, Air, ipads and iphones so would dearly like to sort this out if possible.
    Thanks for any help...

    8/8.1 will install fine but there's some stuff you need to do before starting to ensure no issues
    purchase a retail 8/8.1 license
    use only a USB2 flash drive
    get a clean 8 or 8.1 ISO
    newer machines are more selective with the ISO for some reason (ISOs that worked to install Windows on many different older Macs would not work)
    if you've made lots of changes, hacks and adjustments trying to get this work on your own, you should clean install OSX first, do not restore from time machine and start at step 3 to get Windows installed, you can go back later and copy files back to OSX
    if you want to try without clean installing OSX, here goes
    open boot camp assistant (bca) and choose option 3 ONLY if it reads 'remove/delete' Windows
    open disk utility (du) and confirm that your HD now only has 1 single partition ('macintosh HD' unless you've renamed it)
    restart machine and do a PRAM reset
    open du and repair permissions TWICE
    open bca and choose all 3 options (create, download, install)
    from here, the process follows the standard boot camp instructions (http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf) but pay attention to step 3 where you do have to manually reformat the boot camp partition
    clean ISOs

  • MacBook Pro 15" (Late 2013, 11.3) will not install Windows 7SP1 Pro

    Hi All,
    I have had many go's at this, but I am unable to install Windows 7 bootcamp on my late 2013 15" retina macbook pro.
    First I'll head off with the specs:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,3
      Processor Name: Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed: 2,3 GHz
      Number of Processors: 1
      Total Number of Cores: 4
      L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
      L3 Cache: 6 MB
      Memory: 16 GB
      Boot ROM Version: MBP112.0138.B02
      SMC Version (system): 2.19f3
      NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (and the Intel of course)
      512GB SSD
      16GB USB3 thumbdrive
      Windows 7SP1-U
      Windows 8.1
    First try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484))
    Let it run and run, changed the partition to 101GB, eventually at the installer screen it asks for drivers. Dunno which, but keyboard and mouse fully functional
    Second Try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484))
    Update drivers from BootCamp5.1.5621
    Same issue... no drivers for, I don't know which driver
    Third Try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484))
    Update drivers from BootCamp5.1.5621
    boot with alt and boot into osx
    remove the partition made by assistant and redo that by making a exFAT
    reboot and start windows installer from USB
    Same issue... no drivers for, I don't know which driver
    Fourth try:
    Same as third, but with a USB2 thumbdrive
    fail...
    Fifth try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484))
    Copied Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver (read it somewhere but cant find the page anymore, downloaded from the Intel site)
    Reboot, no KB/mouse so that failed
    Sixth Try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484)) but with a Windows 8.1 ISO
    Update drivers from BootCamp5.1.5621
    Finally I had the opportunity to install Windows, but... v8. (and I want 7)
    Let the install continue, but exited after 1 hour staring at "almost finished"
    Seventh try:
    Run bootcamp assistant (Version 5.1.2 (484)) but with a Windows 8.1 ISO
    Update drivers from BootCamp5.1.5621
    boot with alt and boot into osx
    remove the partition made by assistant and redo that by making a exFAT
    reboot and start windows installer from USB
    Let the install continue, but exited after 45 minutes staring at "almost finished" (less patient this time)
    Eight try:
    Same as try #2, hoping to get lucky....?
    Unfortunately I can't come up with options. So any suggestions are welcome!
    Maybe Win7 will never install on this
    Maybe I need a different Windows 8 ISO
    Can't go back to OSX 10.8 as it's not supported on this Macbook.
    Ow... and why do I want Windows? Need to test several pieces of software which don't run on Mac
    (also wanna play the Windows games with Steam in freetime)
    Thanks!!!!

    There are two options, keep the Time Machine HDD connected full time or turn Time Machine off and on only when you want to make the backup.
