Windows Update searching forever on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi,
I upgraded a Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2 a couple of weeks ago. Everthing seems to be ok except the Windows Update Service. Whenever i started the check for Update the check never completes - i have to reboot the Server. It doesn't matter
if i check with WSUS Server (Default) or check online.
Similar when i try to stop the wuauserv - stopping forever - reboot
i checked the windowsupdate.log - i does not show unusual message
When i do a:
c:\Windows\system32> wuauclt.exe /reportnow
or just without any parameter
Nothing happens!
It seems that the program stops imediately and nothing happens.
What i tried so far:
1) net stop wuauserv --> stopping
Rename c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution ; reboot - same problem
2) remove the wsus entries from the registiry --> Reboot -> same problem
3) remove the Wsus entries in the Registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate
SUSClientID & SUSClientIDValidation ; removed the Client from the WSUS Console ; reboot --> same Problem
4) i could install the updates with wusa.exe --> no problem
any ideas ?
best regards

Windows Update stuck on downloading on Server 2012

Hi,
Using VMWare Workstation 9, I created new virtual machine where I installed Windows Server 2012 Standard edition from MDSN disk en_windows_server_2012_x64_dvd_915478.iso In the Server 2012 virtual machine, when I go to check for updates it says
there are important updates available so I click on Install Updates. It then just gets stuck on downloading updates for hours and nothing ever happens. Stuck at 0 KB total, 0% complete. I am able to access web pages using Internet Explorer
with no problem so the machine does appear to have connectivity to the Internet. If I go to help, click on "What can I do if I'm having problems installing updates?" and click on "Tab or click to open the Windows Update troubleshooter"
it says "Windows Online Troubleshooting Service is not enabled for this version of Windows." Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks,
Greg

I had a similar problem with a guest Windows 2012 R2 running on a Hyper-V host. I went to the network adapter in device manager in the guest and I disabled the "Large Send Offload Version 2 (IPv4)" option. Why? Well, this was also an issue previously when
guesting Windows 2008 where the symptom was an error 80072ee2 when retrieving updates. See this post
http://blog.ronnypot.nl/?p=310 for details. Anyway, I tried this and it worked for me. Hung before the change, worked after.

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.
Thanks

Unable to scan and install windows updates on Win 2008 R2 server

I've encountered some of my win 2008 servers are unable to scan and receive windows updates from SCCM 2012. Browse through the logs and found some error code related to
0x80244023. Excerpt from the WindowsUpdate and WUAHandler is as below. Searched the net and found some workaround which is to rename the registry key
WinHTTPSettings to WinHTTPSettingsx (by adding x at the end of the string)
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Internet Settings -> Connections.
I've did just that on the effected servers and after running again the Software Update Scan Cycle action, it is now able to scan and install the updates. My questions is, based on you guys experience, is there any repercussion (apart from enable to install
software updates) that I could encounter in changing the registry key value WinHTTPSettings?

Hi
If SCCM is setup correctly and your boundaries are correct then once you deploy updates the agents will pick them up.
Also make sure you SUP role has the FQDN set. Lastly if you are using port 8530 make sure it is open.

Cannot revert to Windows 8 after installing Hyper-V Server 2012 R2

I own a laptop with a pre-installed Windows 8. I've installed Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 on top of it by mistake, and now I would like to get rid of it and revert it back to Windows 8. I've tried doing so by a backup USB, though it doesn't seem to work. Is there
anyway to do this without having to use a disc? I haven't received one when I bought it.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Can't Windows 7 access an RD on Server 2012 that uses SHA512/2048-bit certificates

I have a Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop that works fine if configured with the self-signed certs (SHA1/2048-bit), but not with certs from our internal CA.
With the self-signed certs, our remote clients can connect but of course get security warnings due to the untrusted certificates. The clients do trust our root CA, so we should be able to eliminate those by using certs from our internal CA instead.
However, when I do configure the Server 2012 R2 RD to use certs generated on our internal CA (SHA512/2048-bit) clients (Windows 7) cannot open RDP sessions. They get errors and on server event log contain:
(Source: Schannel; Event ID: 36874) [sic] An TLS 1.2 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server. The SSL connection request has failed.
(Source: Schannel; Event ID: 36888) A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 40. The Windows SChannel error state is 1205.
The strange thing is that if I connect from client on Server 2008 R2, it can open RDP session!!!
Thanks.

Hi,
Indicates by the event, it seems that the Cipher Suites use by the client are disabled on the server.
Please check if any Cipher Suites of TLS 1.2 are disabled on the server.

Windows Updates from Internet or Wsus Server

Hi
We have licenced software for windows 2008r2,windows 7and office.
We are trying to install the update from Internet or from Sus server but we are not going through
Devdatta

Hi Devdatta,
What's the meaning? Did you want to install the Windows update for your computer?
You can obtain the updates from Windows Update:
Windows Update
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/products/features/windows-update
How did you get the updates, download from Internet Explorer manually?
What's the error message or symptom when you attempt to install them?
Meanwhile, I suggest you refer to this article to fix your problem.

Windows Update disabled on Terminal Services Server

No matter which administrative account I use, local or domain, Windows Update displays a "Windows Update is managed by your system administrator" message.
I have attempted to use the /admin switch when connecting to the server.
I have executed change user /install at the command prompt.
I have attempted to run from a console directly attached to the server.
I still cannot apply the updates. The last update was in July 2014 and I need Windows Server 2008 SP2 installed for an application upgrade. I did not install or configure this server. The admin that did is no longer with the company and
is not available for support.
Any advice is appreciated.

I found the solution. There was a local Group Policy setting that had disabled Windows Update. The steps to correct are below.
Local Group Policy (gpedit.msc)
-        User Configuration
-        Administrative Templates
-        Windows Components
-        Windows Update
-        Remove access to use all Windows Update features.
It had been set to enabled. Changed to disabled and can now get and install updates.

Windows Update - Checking forever...

Hi guys,
We have been deploying a few machines using SCCM Task Sequence with an image of windows 8.1 Enterprise. The first load of laptops we deployed worked perfect and no issues.
The last 3 laptops we have deployed are having issues checking for windows updates. We have office and various other programs installed which do require the latest service packs. They normally downloaded during windows updates.
Eventually after it checking for ages, an error code will pop up.
Error Log:
WARNING: Failed to get Wu Exemption info from NLM, assuming not exempt, error = 0x800704C6

Any ideas?

Windows update error 0x80070BC9 with windows 7

Hi,
I have only one Windows 7 machine which has started to show 80070BC9 in Windowsupdate.log file when trying to install Windows updates KB2478662. I believe this refers to a "pending update" which needs to be completed before other updates can follow (normally
after a reboot).
I restarted the computer many times, tried to install this update manually, tried .Net cleanup tool, strated the computer in selective startup mode (without load startup items) and reset Windows update components. unfortunately I still
have the same problem.
I get the following in Windowsupdate.log file:

Your help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot,

Hi,
I understand that the issue persists after registering the Windows Update files and removing incorrect Registry values that may exist. And before that
you have tried manually installation, disable antivirus, checksur but the update still cannot be installed.
Based on my experience, the update fail issue may occur when there are problems with winsxs folder, disk or Software Distribution folder. Please try the steps below and check the
result.
===========================================
1.
Rename Pending.xml
1). Open an elevated command prompt
2). At the command prompt type the following command:
takeown /f C:\Windows\winsxs\pending.xml
3). Rename c:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml using the following command:
Ren c:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml pending.old
2. Run Check disk (chkdsk) on the OS partition
1). Open an elevated command prompt
2). At the command prompt type the following command:
Chkdsk volume: /f /r
3. Rename the Software Distribution folder
To rename the Windows Update temporary SoftwareDistribution directory follow these steps:
1). Start an administrative command prompt.
2). Run the following commands hitting enter after each line:
Net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
Ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
Net start wuauserv
3). Try to install updates again
Important The following issues occur when you do this:
• Updates that are currently downloaded but that have not yet been installed have to be downloaded again by using Windows Update or Microsoft Update.
• When you delete the Software Distribution folder, your download history is removed.
• If you currently receive updates from Microsoft Update and from Windows Update, you will have to re-select this option from the Windows Update Web site.
Note: If the issue is resolved and you can successfully download and install updates, you can safely delete the SoftwareDistribution.old directory to recover disk space.

Internet Explorer 9 not showing as not installed when using Windows Update - Error: Code 9C48 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

I built a few new Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 VMs today and ran into a problem where Windows Update is not detecting the fact that Internet Explorer 9 is already installed. Internet Explorer 9 keeps showing up as an available update when
using Windows Update. When I try to install it as a test I get the error message: Code 9C48 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
My normal build procedures include applying all the patches for the OS prior to any other work on the servers. The way I like to do the patching is to do every update other then IE9 in the begininng and once all the other updates have been
completed, install IE9 and then patch it if there are updates available. I followed this procedure on every build for the last year and I have not run into any issues until today. The only difference today is the latest patches that were released yesterday
April 10th, 2012. To test the theory that it may be one of the latest patches, I reinstalled Windows from scratch making sure to format the disks and then I installed IE9 right after the OS install without any other updates. Once the
server was rebooted, I checked Windows Update and Internet Explorer 9 still showed up as update (Not the Cumulative Update which normally shows up after an IE9 install) and yes, I did make sure to click the 'Check for Updates' link before I looked just
in case. My next test was to patch a couple of the servers I had built prior to April 10th, 2012. Those servers did not have any issues with the latest updates and they are not experiencing the same behavior as the newly built servers.
I ended up comparing the IE9 Version on the cleanly install OS (No updates were installed except IE9) and the servers I built last week which were patched. The versions are exactly the same.
My findings above lead me to believe that there is a problem with the latest IE9 install package (which includes the latest cumulative update) and the Windows Update detection component.
I guess I am looking for someone to report this up the chain to get this fixed so no one else runs into this problem. I know in some cases we may not be able to see additional IE9 updates until this is resolved.

I just started having the same problem.
I was creating a new VM in Vsphere from our 2008 R2 SP1 image and it hasn't been updated and repacked in a while, so i have to install about 60 updates, including IE9.
I went through my normal setup as i had just created 2 VMs and updated them on Monday with no problem.
I got the same error code as you. The install looks like it installed IE9, but the update is still showing up as available in Windows Update.
I deleted the VM, created a new one, chose all updates except IE, then did that and it still shows up again.
Then i deleted the VM, installed just IE 9 and it still shows up as available on reboot.
I have a script that i can use to reset/clear WSUS cache on the computer, (Software distribution folder, and the windows update log, and recreates a certificate), so i tried that and then rebooted and it still showed up.
I then decide ok, maybe the Image got messed up somehow, so i started creating a new 2008 R2 install from scratch last night and chose to update just IE9 as the first install. I did that, rebooted and it didn't show up in Windows Updates, so i though GREAT.
I proceed to kick off the 100+ downloads needed before i left and left the console up.
When i got in to work this morning, the updater seemed stuck on 31 of 102 updates, this one in particular: KB288516. I rebooted the computer, because it wouldn't stop and just seemed stuck since last night, which these updates should only have taken about
an hour to install at most. I log back in and sure enough, it now shows Internet Explorer 9 at the bottom of the update list as being needed for install.
I believe this is Patch Tuesday week, so maybe they screwed up something with the Windows Update detection engine, because it worked fine on Monday when i had to update IE9 on 2 VMs that i created.

Hi Jupemen,
According to your message, the SQL Server media is a complete installation and it has not encountered any error when downloading. We need to verify if you run the setup.exe as administrator and you have a permission to read and write the folder of MSI package
via Administrator account. In some occasions, the required MSI package doesn't exists and it could indicate a registry problem, a virus or malware issue or even a hardware failure. If you need a copy of the MSI package, it's best to obtain it from its original,
legitimate source. For more information , see:
How To Fix Msi.dll Not Found or Missing Errors.
In addition, there is a detail about installing SQL Server 2012 on windows 8.1, you can review the following article.

Windows Update does not work, Windows Standalone Update Installer stops with error 0xc8000247 (Windows 7 Home Premium on Acer Aspire 1810TZ notebook)

I purchased a new notebook with Windows 7 in October. During the first weeks I uninstalled McAfee and replaced the harddrive. Since November Windows Update fails with error messages and defender does not start anymore. I made several virus scans (complete) with multiple antivirus programs but nothing showed up.
Since it took my days to install various software, I do not want to re-install W7. I also have no good backup that I could restore.
I am really surprised that there is not even a single entry regarding the error code in the Microsoft Knowledge base or elsewhere.
I really would appreciate help.

I hit this same problem... I spent days trying to figure out what went wrong. MS advise of doing; Windows7 re-installs, BIOS/firmware updates, drivers changed, etc etc etc.
I installed a new(large) SEAGATE Momentus XT hybrid 750GB SATA drive upon newly purchased notebook, but the twist here is between the storage configuration mode in the BIOS, ATA vs. AHCI. See, the DELL BIOS required to configure my laptop storage for AHCI
mode, because I had the 4GB Intel Flash Cache Module (Turbo Memory) installed on the DELL Precision notebook. The Flash Cache is installed internally in the mini-pcie slot, loaded the Intel storage drivers, and when it works, is an outstanding feature which
supports:
Windows ReadyDrive*
Windows ReadyBoost*
Looking at the details of the Intel storage drivers that support the INTEL TURBO MEMORY, they're from 2009. Of course it was recommended by users to install these drivers first before anything else, so it would function best, but this was part of the
cause to all the problems with Windows 7. I've provided links to Intel Flash Cache info for those interested. Unfortunately, loading the HP/Intel Storage drivers fixes the Windows permissions/update problems, but "Breaks" the Intel Turbo Flash Cache
functionality now, even though Microsoft still supports ReadyDrive in Windows 7.
"Intel® Turbo Memory is a primary PC component, along with the CPU, chipset, and system memory. It caches large amounts of frequently used data or user selected applications for faster access by the processor. This decreases the need for hard-disk accesses,
saving both time and power, which equates to increased performance and energy efficiency. That's good news for users who run data-intensive software like media applications. It's also a good match to the substantial system requirements to load and run Windows
Vista*.
Intel Turbo Memory is a single solution that accelerates data transfer both to and from the processor."
Intel discontinued support for the modules or drivers with the marketing move to producing their own SSD storage drives.

For me, I hit all the symptoms everyone else hit and thanks to humphrey for his find. I just wish Microsoft/Intel would get together and fix this Windows 7 issue between SW/HW; Large Drive Sizes, Licensing/Permissions, Flash Memory, ATA vs. ACHI, BIOS, etc.
There's been an incredible amount of loss productivity, resources, and costs incurred on this one ISSUE by everyone involved.
