How do I uninstall WSUS windows update agent?
My server at some point was managed by WSUS. I removed WSUS and deleted group policy relevant to WSUS. It still seems to be having some effect and my server is trying to pull updates from some strange location "win7_prerelease" instead of proper
URL. It also tries to pull something off test.update.microsoft.com instead. I have tried all the fixes I found but WU agent keep pulling stuff from those strange locations.
I'm on Windows 2008 R2 SP1

Hi,
I noticed that the server is trying to connect to a proxy server but failed. And there are several way to configure a proxy server. I recommend you follow the article find
out where it is configured.
How the Windows Update client determines which proxy server to use to connect to the Windows Update Web site

Hope this helps.

Hi All,
Is there a way to import the latest Windows Update Agent into WSUS and therefore all 3000 machines that connect to WSUS get the update?
Reason this has cropped up is because I want to update all machines to IE9 from IE8. Have approved Internet Explorer 9 in WSUS. Some machines have updated ok. Others wont update and clicking on Check for updates (where it checks WSUS) tells me there are
no updates to install. If I 'Check for Updates from Microsoft Online' it immediately tells me that the machine needs an update. The update that gets installed is Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 which is fine except that means each user will have
to download the update from MS Update and I want WSUS to do it like it does every other Critical and Important update. Does anyone know the KB number I should be looking for or what I need to import from the Catalogue into WSUS so the Update Agent is deployed
to all machines. All machines are Windows 7 SP1 32bit. There must be a way otherwise machines are going to be stuck on IE8 and also not receive any future Win 7 updates from WSUS.
I know IE8 is old and so is IE9 but due to various NHS systems out there some only support IE8 or 9. Tragic I know.
Thanks
RichThe proper way to distribute the latest WUA (.320) to the clients in a WSUS administered environment, is to update the WSUS server(s) with this update:
An update to harden Windows Server Update Services
then the clients WUA will be selfupdated when they connect to the WSUS server.

[SCCM 2012 R2] Windows Update Agent do not scan correctly thus SCCM has bad reports
Hi All,
My colleagues reported that after manual download and installation of update Office 2010 SP2 ... SCCM still do not report as Installed:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2687455
KB2687455 update on SCCM is reported as:
Update ID: 9c5e43a3-3ae9-434d-b105-a9d7902d5f9f
Update Title: Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Office 2010 (KB2687455) 32-Bit Edition
Test Computer:
After investigation I found out that Windows Update Agent (verbose logging) is reporting that this update is really not installed: Agent Update {9C5E43A3-3AE9-434D-B105-A9D7902D5F9F} is deployed for scan, and is installable. It will be reported
as installable.
Update KB2687455 is shown in Programs and Features/Installed Updates as installed on this computer.
Question:
This update is MSP (not standard update) so it cannot be queried by win32_quickfixengineering WMI class. How to query all installed updates on system (registry, API, ...)?
How WUA query ALL installed updates?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,Hi,
You could check the version number. The version number of Office 2010 SP2 is greater than or equal to
14.0.7015.1000.
The script in the blog below could get List of installed Windows / office Updates.
http://www.blackforce.co.uk/2013/01/27/get-list-of-installed-windows-office-updates-command-line
The sample in the following article can be used to determine if a critical security update is installed on a computer. If the update isn't installed, the user can ensure that the update is downloaded and installed. The user can also ensure that
they are notified about the status of the installation.

Windows update requesting to install Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320
I received this today when trying to manually scan for available updates via the windows update in control panel. It shows message as below. Seems that it will install the latest Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320. Will this machine able to get any patch
deployed via SCCM if the WUA is not updated to the latest version?I can't say I've heard of any widespread issues with this version of the WUA so YMMV as always. If you do have an issue, you should contact CSS though.
As for it being pushed automatically, that's correct and is no different than past WUA agent updates. It is considered an infrastructure update and is thus automatically installed via Windows Update or WSUS regardless of your client update settings unless
you've actually disabled the WUA via group policy (not the service though) -- this includes ConfigMgr also because ConfigMgr does not in way pre-empt WSUS and leverages WSUS behind the scenes.

Some computers download and install the two approved updates, others only download Windows Update Agent and not the approved updates.

Uninstall a windows update usign group policy
Hi !
Recently I installed Service Pack 1 for windows server 2008 R2 and after that i lost RDP to it.
Investigated it and found a security update is the cause.
I connected using iLo and uninstalled it and all went ok
so here is what i want
is there anyway to uninstall a windows update from different clients using group policy or WSUS ?Hi,
On Group Policy Management Console, Go to GPO that will contain the script and go to Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts (Start up/Shutdown)
Click Add and then Browse. This will open the GPO in the Sysvol share for you to create the batch file.Add Shutdown
script
use Shutdown scripts when you need to remove an update which creates issue.
Note: updates may require a reboot after removal. By using a Shutdown script, the script can run at the next system shutdown/reboot event and the update removal process gets the reboot it needs.
By using a Startup script, you may end up needing two reboots to remove the update: one reboot so that the script runs at the next system start and a possible second reboot if the update removal process requires it.
Use the below script by replacing the you own KB that needs to be kicked from servers.
Make below .bat
C:\Windows\System32\wusa.exe/uninstall/kb:example12345555/quiet/norestart/log
By adding the optional, /log, you can go into the Setup Event Log and check that your update was removed.
Event Log- Windows update was successfully uninstalled

Windows Update Error 800B0109 after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 Installed
Hi, I have this error message when running windows update, it happened after Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 installed.
Any idea how to resolve this?
Thank you.Hi,
Please make sure that your antivirus application does not scan the files in the
%windir% \SoftwareDistribution directory on any computer on which Windows Update Agent is installed.
You can also temporarily turn off the antivirus application and check the result.
Or run the following commands, and press Enter after each command:
Net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Net start wuauserv
Try to install updates again.

I tried the commands as well, still prompting the same error.

Windows Update Agent rebooting systems after Software Update deployment
I have a software update deployment that is configured to install software updates on a collection of servers at 4:00 AM with a suppressed reboot. The updates get deployed and no reboot occurs as expected. Then ~8 hours later WUA starts up and the
servers get rebooted.
There is a maintenance window applied to the collection from 4:00 AM to 6:00 AM to allow the updates to install.
I've read a few forum and blog posts on this issue and have implemented some settings via GPO, but the reboots are still occurring. The settings that were applied are referenced in the link below.

How can I disable the HP Updates Agent from running?
HP pavilion D4100Y
Windows XP SP2 or 3 (not sure)
No error message
No recent changes
Problem: The program "Updates from HP Agent" runs frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not one I chose. It takes over my computer for hours and uses most of the CPU, fluctuating from 13% to 87% to 1 etc.3% to 6%, etc. The computer hangs and I cannot use it for anything else. On the HP Updates screen, I set the updates to "NEVER" but that didn't work. The programs still run. On the Windows Task Manager window the program is called "Updates from HP Agent".
I cannot find anything about this problem in the support database.
How can I disable the HP Updates Agent from running?
This question was solved.
View Solution.Select your start button and in the search box type "msconfig" then select msconfig.exe under programs.
Look under the "Services" and "Boot" tabs. Uncheck HP update agent, select "Apply" and close.

MBSA Windows Update Agent installation
I'm implementing MBSA on our domain. I've worked through the various firewall issues, etc. Next I received a Security Update Scan Result that "Computer has an older version of the client and security database demands a newer
version. Current version is and minmum required version is ." This is pasted directly from the screen. It appears information is missing from the message.
Based on research of the message, I reran the scan with the "Configure computers for Microsoft Update and scanning prerequisites" option selected. Then I get the result "Windows Update Agent installation succeeded.Restart
the target computer to have Windows Update Agent updated completely." Scanning the computer after a restart just repeats the same results. Looking in the WindowsUpdate.log on the target computer, there are messages stating that 3
CBS packages were evaluated and that each is not applicable. "WUESTUP has finished. Exit code is 0. Reboot is NOT needed." I have checked and the
wuaueng.dll version is 7.6.7600.256, which I believe is the latest.
I have seen this result on multiple Windows 7 computers I have tested. None have worked so far. What is causing MBSA to report one thing and the target to indicate something else?
Ken Kemp Eddy County, NM ITAt this point, no. Since I didn't turn up an answer here, I've had to set this aside for more pressing matters. I hope to get back to it at some point soon.
If you are fortunate enough to find an answer, please be sure to share it here.

How do I uninstall the iPhoto update which does not work on maverick?
How do I uninstall the iphoto update which does not work. ie it tells me my library is locked out and the recommended action by apple does not open the phot library first aid. ? i need to go back to the old iphoto.
Terence, I was trying a way to message you directly - jumping on a recent thread seemed to be the only way (sorry, DEW45).
Terence, you seem to be the foremost expert on apeture and iphoto and have helped me many times in the past (thanks). I have a question that you may be able to help with (anyone also feel free to take a stab). I use blogger to upload my photos and host my blog (www.sippingespresso.com). I spend hours organzing and editing photos - namely, I will enhance and sometimes alter an image in Apeture. It always saves over the orginal file (at least for viewing purposes), which is fine by me. But then when I go to upload the photos onto blogger it seems to always pull my dull, original image. Obviously, I want the newer, bright, enhanced photo.
I'm one step away from importing them, dragging them out of iphoto and into Photoshop, then editing the files and dragging them back into iphoto, deleting the originals and uploading from there. There HAS to be a better way - please help!! I've already posted far too many boring images without the beauty of Apeture's "auto enhance".
Thanks in advance, Terence or anyone else. -
80246002 error after installing Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320
This problem prevents Windows Update from being able to search, download, and install updates.
I am experiencing this issue on machines running Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 Enterprise (I imagine this an issue with Windows Update and not the OS so this is probably affecting other OS' as well).
This problem is becoming widespread quickly.
The proposed fix (method 1) in the article below did not resolve the problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958056/en-us
Note: Method 2 is not viable when applying more than one update at a time especially when you are updating multiple machines.
Several others are posting similar problems:
http://windowsitpro.com/windows-update/tracking-error-80246002-windows-update-problem
http://forums.techguy.org/windows-7/1132320-windows-update-problems-4.html
This is preventing scheduled server maintenance from being performed.
Could this be a targeted attack? Happening at the end of the week before a long holiday weekend is not leaving me with a very good feeling...
I would hope that fixing this issue would be a very high priority.
BTW - There is no "Windows Update Issue" forum category that I could find - If there is, sorry for posting in the wrong area.
Cheers,
JeffMy fix that worked...
Reviewed the operational log for the WindowsUpdateClient (buried in the Event viewer here:
Application and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> Windows -> WindowsUpdateClient -> Operational
After review, I noticed that event 30 "Windows Updates established connectivity" was no longer occurring and that event 42 "There has been a change in the health of Windows Update" was the only thing after the error (Event 25 "Windows Update failed
to check for updates with error 0x80246002")
Even though the machine was restarted after applying the "Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320" patch and I had tried restarting the Windows Update service, the service appears to be hung.
Solution:
1.) restart the Windows update service
2.) monitor the operational log for the WindowsUpdateClient (refreshing every 5-10 seconds)
3.) verify that event 30 happens (you should see event 38 after restarting the service followed by (2) event 42, then event 30)
4.) Once event 30 happens go to the Windows update GUI and run the "Check for updates" - yay!
5.) You can go back into the operational log and see event 26 "Windows Update successfully found x updates" followed by an event 40 for each update found.
What is really strange is that I checked the first machine that experienced the problem and it magically fixed itself.
It seems like this may have been caused by DDOS attack on the source for windows updates that the Windows Update service connects to. Or the source location was having maintenance performed.
Regardless, in my case, this was not a problem with the OS or the patch but the inability for the Windows Update Service to establish connectivity.
Hope that helps somebody :)
Cheers,
Jeff -
