Installed/not Applicable Percentage column

When i look at the WSUS 3.0 SP2 console (Server 2008) all of our computers show 99% as value for Installed/not Applicable Percentage column.
Why would it not be 100%
Anything i can do.

would that imply that i havent approved those 100 updates or something else.
More likely that you've missed a *few* updates, and the remaining 90+% are superseded and irrelevant.
99% Installed/NotApplicable with 100+ Needed updates is highly unusual, but possible. I have a relatively new Win7SP1 system that's 99% Installed/NotApplicable with 95 updates "needed".
But you really need to be looking at *updates* not computers. Find the not-superseded updates where needed > 0.

Update showing as not applicable?

I manage a network of 675 POS terminals running Windows Embedded Standard 7. Because these terminals are located across the state, I use PowerShell extensively to perform tasks remotely for me.
Currently, I have an MSI file that I need to install on these terminals. In the past, I have just done an invoke-command and ran the MSI file silently to install and everything was fine. That is not the case currently. It looks like a windows
update - KB2918614 broke my ability to to this. Unfortunately (for this reason), this update has already been installed on all of my clients. Now I see that Microsoft has released an update that will fix this issue for me - KB3008627.
I have this update imported on my WSUS and approved for install. Have had it this way since Friday. However, none of my clients have the patch installed. I have different groups set up - one of which, my Lab group, is scheduled to download
and install updates daily at 3pm. Nothing on these machines.
In addition, on my WSUS it is telling me that I have 672 clients it is installed / not applicable. When I actually go and check the clients, I don't see any of them as having this update installed.
I have tried the wuauclt /detectnow multiple times. I am seeing 0 updates detected in the WindowsUpdate.log file. I have verified that the update is downloaded on the WSUS server.
I'm kinda lost as to why it hasn't installed or my clients don't see it as available?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
sb

what I meant here was that all of the updates that currently exist on this image, were installed directoy from Microsoft. The updates that I am looking to install - whether that be KB3008627 OR KB3000988 - they are not installed on my image. And
I am struggling getting them to deploy with WSUS.
I understood exactly what you said. Updates applied to the master image and then *cloned* to other systems quite often do not have the artifacts that allow an individual package to determine whether they are installed or needed. Ergo they are reported as
Not Applicable.
Then you have to take this to the next step to understand the implications on other updates. Inasmuch as the two updates in question are explicitly dependent upon the existing installation of KB2918614, if the WUA is unaware/unable to identify the necessary
artifacts relevant to that update installation, it's quite likely that the necessary detection artifacts to determine applicability of KB3000988 or KB3008627 do not exist.
One way you might test this: Force the RE-installation of KB2918614 and then re-test for applicability of KB3000988 and KB3008627.

Strange error "Invalid column name 'not applicable'

When I am trying this piece of code on Solaris 10 having sybase ASE 12.5 installed :
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("sp_helpdb master");
while(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
I am getting the following error:
Invalid column name 'not applicable'
This query returns multiple result sets.
I am able to print all values in the first result set only.
Its failing in rs.next();
I am using jConnect 5.2 driver.
The same query is executing fine on Solaris 8 having ASE 12.0 installed.
If i use :
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("sp_helpdb master");
then there is no problem in Solaris 10
Plz help me.
Its urgent

You need to use execute() not executeQuery() in the scenario below and use the multi-result set logic
If you are using jConnect, see the samples for an example.

KB2992611 "not applicable" error message when installing on server 2012R2

Attempting to patch my 2012r2 servers for the new KB2992611 schannel critical bug, see: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS14-066. I downloaded the 2012r2 version from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44643
and then attempt to install on several 2012r2 servers.
I get a message saying "The update is not applicable to your computer." on every single 2012r2 standard server I have tried. Anyone else seeing this or have any ideas how to resolve? The 2012 version of the patch went on just fine to
a 2012 setup.
Edit: also seeing the same thing when I try to install the appropriate version for my windows 8.1 desktop client.

You probably will need to call it in. Almost all files are marked not applicable. Security / Hotfix support is always free.

An update installed using DISM in install.wim seen as "Not Applicable" by WSUS report instead of "Installed"

Hi all,
To make server's installation faster, I intend to make an updated "install.wim" every 6 months using DISM.
Then, after installation, the Win2012R2 server connect to a WSUS server to get the latests update not included in the install.wim.
As a test, I used DISM to install an update in the install.wim file of Windows 2012R2 sources.
In a new installed Windows server 2012R2, I can see that the KB is installed.
But on the WSUS report of this server, the status of the KB included in the install.wim by DISM displayed as "Not applicable".
Is it because WSUS did not installed it itself ?
Is there a way to display it as "installed" in the report, even if the patch had not been installed by the WSUS server ?
Thanks
ML

But on the WSUS report of this server, the status of the KB included in the install.wim by DISM displayed as "Not applicable".
Very possible, and likely.
It depends on how the detection logic of the update has been written. In some cases, detection logic is based on what an installer does during installation, e.g. create and/or set a registry key or value. This may not happen when injecting an update into
an image using DISM. As a result, the detection logic will not see the necessary flags it's looking for to determine that an update is "Installed" vs "Not Applicable".
You also have to think of this in terms of the baseline image installed on the system. To be true, a baseline image that already has the necessary content is, in fact, "Not Applicable", and has, in fact, not actually been installed to that machine.
Most often you see this in the realm of installing images with slipstreamed service packs.
Consider a scenario with a slipstreamed Win7SP1 baseline. Functionally speaking, all previous updates are contained within that SP1 baseline, but if you inspect the state of the actual updates in WSUS, they will all be listed as Not Applicable. They're not
actually "installed", and they cannot be installed, thus the only viable remaining state is "Not Applicable", which is true -- because they cannot be installed on an SP1-based machine. (Functionally they are superseded, which is also a
contributing factor to the state of "Not Applicable".)
There is no way to display it as "Installed". It's not. This is something that should be documented in the declaration of the baseline image you're using (by patching up the image with DISM once every six months).

Unable to install the security patches KB2677070 in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (The update is not applicable to your computer)

Dear everyone,
We are trying to install the below KB in our windows server 2008 R2 SP1, however, it will show "The update is not applicable to your computer". There is no problems to install the other patches except this one. Do anyone have idea about it?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2677070
Thanks,
Users

Hi,
According to this KB article, there are many exceptions where this KB is not applicable.
Please perform the following steps:
Expand the “For all supported…” title in the File Information section in the KB article.
Find Crypt32.dll.mui files on your machine.
Then compare the file version, file size, data and time with the ones listed in the KB article.
If there is a match, then this KB doesn’t apply to your machine, which is by design.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Amy Wang

IE11 Install Fail - Prerequisites KB2533623 is not applicable to your computer

I am unable to install IE11 on both my x32 and x64 Dell laptops because it's missing KB2533623. But when I try to install the KB2533623, I get "The update is not applicable to your computer". Please assist.

Probably means that one update's criteria is not the same as another's. Look at the log files to determine exactly what they are. E.g. probably an out-of-date module that the first update thinks it knows how to fix by using its suggestion but which
really needs to be fixed some other way. So, if you fixed whatever it is properly you wouldn't get the bogus suggestion. Etc.

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
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, build 7600.16539.x86fre.win7_gdr.100226-1909
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,
empty the Temporary Internet files and %Temp% folder.
At last, download
Windows Virtual PC again and install it.

RSAT Tools won't install (the update is not applicable to your computer) in build 9926

Trying to install Remote Server Administration Tools in Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9926
Downloaded WindowsTH-KB2693643-x64.msu
Gives error "the update is not applicable to your computer"

Hi SeanSauve,
The below is the information I quoted from the system requirements part on the download page:
Supported Operating System
Windows 10 , Windows 10 Tech Preview , Windows 8.1
**Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview can be installed ONLY on computers that are running the second release of Windows 10 Technical Preview.** Remote Server Administration Tools cannot be installed on Windows
RT, computers with an Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) architecture, or other system-on-chip devices.
Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview runs on both x86- and x64-based editions of builds 9926 and later releases of Windows 10 Technical Preview, including all updates. This release does not run on Windows 10 Technical
Preview builds that are older than 9926. Download and install the version that matches the architecture of the computer on which you plan to install the administration tools. If you are not sure whether your computer is x86- or x64-based, see
How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.
Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview is available only in United States English (en-US) for this release.
IMPORTANT: Remove all older versions of Administration Tools Pack or Remote Server Administration Tools—including older prerelease versions, and releases of the tools for different languages or locales—from the computer before you install Remote
Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview. Only one copy at a time of Remote Server Administration Tools can be installed on a computer. If you have upgraded to Windows 10 Technical Preview from an older release of Windows, you will need
to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview on the computer; no earlier releases of Remote Server Administration Tools are still installed on a computer that you have upgraded to Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview includes support for remote management of computers that are running the Server Core installation option or the Minimal Server Graphical Interface configuration of Windows Server Technical
Preview. However, Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview cannot be installed on any releases or installation options of the Windows Server operating system.
Earlier releases of Remote Server Administration Tools (such as those for Windows 8.1) are not available--nor do they run--on Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Server Manager is included with Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview; GUI-based tools that are part of this release of Remote Server Administration Tools can be opened by using commands on the Tools menu of the Server Manager
console. To use Server Manager to access and manage remote servers that are running Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2012 R2, you must install several updates on the older operating systems. For more information
about requirements for using Server Manager to manage remote servers, see
Manage multiple, remote servers with Server Manager.
More information, see:
Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 Technical Preview (January 2015)
Please check and see if your current build is Windows 10 build 9926, and the system language, RSAT should not be able to install on the other language versions of Windows 10 other than EN-US.

Hotfix KB2277439 Says "The update is not applicable to your computer" when trying to install.

We have two Dell Poweredge 710 servers both running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 using Failover Clustering. These servers host a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database. They are being back up by a EMC Networker.

The package I downloaded extracted a file named Windows6.1-KB2277439-x64.msu However when I tried installing the hotfix I get an error saying: "The update is not applicable to your computer"
Can someone please explain why this update is not applicable? As far as the KB article says, it's specifically meant for Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 with Failover Clustering installed, which is exactly the setup that these servers are running.
Also I have verified that this hotfix had not been previously applied and I'm pretty sure we couldn't have gotten this as an automatic update. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Hotfixes are special, out-of-band patches created to fix specific problems, so they are never published to Windows Update. Often the hotfix gets incorporated into a released patch that is published on Windows Update. If this hotfix was incorporated
into a released patch, and you applied that patch to your system, the hotfix would see that its files are older than the latest files on the system and would give you this message. Because the hotfix is not for general distribution, there is rarely documentation
saying that it has been superceded.
Generally there is a file list with a hotfix/patch that gives you the version number of the affected files. You can go through those files to see that you have the latest files. The problem is finding the actual patch that updated those files.
Without going through lots of patches, it is hard to find which patch made the hotfix obsolete.

Update is not applicable while installing Camera Raw

Hello internet.
I just bought a new camera, Nikon D3100.
I shoot with RAW files, and therefore I need to open them in PS CS5.
To do this, I need the newest update of Camera Raw, the Camera Raw 6.3.
When I try to update it, my Adobe Application Manager says "Some updates failed to install. Update is not applicable".
I've tried to uninstall PS, and it's also updated to the newest version.

What to do with "Update is not applicable" error when install the InCopy 7.0.5.562 patch on window?

Hi,
I had InCopy 7.0.0.354 window version, and would like to upgrade to newer version.
After install the InCopy 7.0.5.652 patch, there is this "Update is not applicable" error.
The InDesign 7.0.5.652 patch installs (my old InDesign is 7.0.0.354) with no problem.
I also tried to remove my InCopy 7.0.0, re-installed InCopy 7.0.0, but still the 7.0.5 patch has the same error.
Now I have newer version of InDesign, but old version of InCopy, which can't be right for my work.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I can only use the 7.0.5 patch.
Thanks.
