Enable Microsoft Update (not just Windows Update) for Windows 2008 R2

I am running Windows 2008 R2 in my Citrix XenApp 6.5 farm.
Office 2013 is installed.
I can't update Office via Windows Update. Why? Take a look at this ridiculous roundabout tautology it takes me through.
Here I am in the Windows Update panel:
If I click "Find out more" to get updates for other Microsoft Updates it takes me here:
Yeah, duh, I was just in there when I clicked the link to get to this site. What's the deal?
How does one enable all Microsoft Updates for a Windows 2008 server. I can do this in 2003 easily by going to the Microsoft Update website. 2008 however, this appears to be impossible and apparently no one else in the world has noticed this.

these discussions should help:

  • IOS5 Update causes Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I did an iPad1 IOS5 update and on the reboot could not get iTunes to recognize my iPad.
    I did all the recommended troubleshooting to no avail. So I called this morning and while on hold I put my password back on my device just as before and BAM iTunes now recognizes device and is doing my restore.
    So if you do a backup of your device before the update and you have it password protected, it won't recognize the device until you go through and setup a new device and put your password back to what is was before, then BAM you're good! Good Luck and hopefully you won't have to spend the day I did figuring this out.

    Hey there andrijfrommississauga,
    I have an article here for you that will help you troubleshoot this issue with iTunes not recognizing your iOS devices:

    Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.

  • T60 WLAN COMPLETELY GONE after installing latest Update Intel Wireless WiFi Link for Windows XP

    I just reinstalled a T60 from scratch TWICE  to the point of updating  - Intel Wireless Wifi Link for Windows XP -
    Just after that very latest Update (3.1.1.1 or so?)  there is no WLAN possible and I had to find out, that  a system restore is impossible either! (Simply does not work and asks me to get another point and try again)
    I have a full backup done by acronis 2010 so that does not bother me so very much.
    The point is that I like to WARN everybody to install that Update to their T60  e.g. 2008YWJ !!!
    (contains 3945AGB WLAN Module!)
    After Updating U HAVE NO CHANCE TO REPAIR IT! U get always the problem signature 
    szAppName: AcSvc.exe  szAppVer: 5.6.1.33  szModName: PfMgrApi.dll
    szModVer : 13.0.0.2  offset: 000d4912
    and the System wants to report that stuff to MicroSoft...again and again...every time u
    start AccessConnections.
    U can DEinstall AccessConnections and Intel Wireless Wifi Link for XP completely, reboot
     and REinstall it....just 2 get the same messages and NO WLAN anymore.
    I could not get out of this Driver Installation Hell until I did a complete Recovery Install and
     I got back to Hell when System Update REinstalled Intel Wireless WiFi Link for XP
    automagically...;-(((
    And again NO CHANCE to roll back, No chance to get rid of that annoying bug. This time I have an ACRONIS-Image so I can spare some time....
    Somebody shoud really CHECK this, because it should not be possible to break down an completely NICE RUNNING Thinkpad THIS WAY just by updating it! As it took me abaout 12 Hours of Administration by now I
    really would apreciate to help whomever to find out what the hell is responsible 4 this !!!
    Why is XP System Restore not working on an T60 to roll back to Point b4 installation of this Update???
    (I could  not use that Thinkvantage-System Recovery because it did not even get all its updates by the 
    time the system went in limbo during install! What i defintely can say is that it breaks at exactely
    same point when Intel Wifi Updates is installed...
    I do my Acronis Restore now and try 2 avoid this Update....;-(
    if anybody KNOWS how to get that system 2 an earlier point of an install orgy i whould be thankful to get that information...
    I am keeping alive 12 Thinkpads here R40 R50 T42 T43 T60 T61p T400 T500 and  NEVER
    experienced problems like this in many  years!
    cheers

    gal9000, welcome to the forum,
    have you tried running windows system restore from safe mode? It usually works then because some anti-virus softwares will prevent it from running successfully from "normal" windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • After updating with iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1, when I restarted my computer, my headphones no longer work. According to my computer they do. Is this an iTunes issue?

    After updating with iTunes 12.1 for Windows 8.1, when I restarted my computer, my headphones no longer work. According to my computer they do. Is this an iTunes issue? I did the audio troubleshooting and it says everything is fine. I have a Toshiba Satellite L75D-A7280.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • Update DISM in WinPE, Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update

    Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update, creates WinPE with DISM version 6.3.9600.16384.
    Latest build of Windows 8.1 Pro Build 9600, dated 22/11/2014, has DISM version 6.3.9600.17031.
    Have run the Windows ADK setup again, but says NO Updates available.
    Have created listings of all the DISM files in WinPE and Windows 8.1, but reluctant to copy files across, as I assume that registration / registry changes are also required.
    Does anyone know how we can update the version of DISM in WinPE to 6.3.9600.17031?
    Thanks, John

  • IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode. Not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    Hi,
    My iphone 5 stuck during update to 8.2. It is now frozen in recovery mode, showing a 'connect to itunes' screen. The problem I have is that (the recently upgraded to 12.0.1) itunes is not recognizing my device. I have tried all of the suggestions here: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows, to no avail. I have not removed iTunes and reinstalled to test that, as I am concerned this will destroy the backups of my phone - which I will now desperately need once the phone is recovered.
    Has anyone got any suggestions?
    Cheers

    Hi AmberX92,
    If you receive an error 3194 when attempting to restore your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • Do not find the option for windows when I press the the option key during restart, since I downloaded Lion

    I still do not find any option for windows when I restart my mac when pressing the option key.  It used to go to windows when I pressed the option key during a restart but since I have downloaded Lion, it always go to mac.  I do not want to make a permanent switch. ANy suggestions on how to get back to using the option key?

    You probably need to reinstall your Windows machine.
    I'm not certain, but I have a feeling the install of Lion wipes it out, going by the number of threads started along similar lines since Lion's release.
