WSUS has no 2012 R2 updates

I have a 2008 R2 server running WSUS and cannot see any patches for Server 2012 R2 (2012 is fine, just not R2). Currently running version 3.2.7600.226.
Anyone know anything I can do to correct this? Also if any other info is needed, please let me know. Thanks!

Do you have Server 2012 R2 selected under products?

Wsus + Scep 2012 Defenition Updates

Hi
Im using Wsus to manage Pattern file updates for my scep 2012 clients an my proplem is that most Pattern files do get applied to my machines but like today my computers had
Pattern file (1.185.908.0) but when I check on Microsoft website they say the latest pattern file is (1.185.926.0) so I
synced my wsus to see if there where any new files available and it return with nothing new... so I manualy ran "mpam-feX64" and my client got update to (1.185.933.0) so it seems that my Wsus server is missing every other updates,,
Can it be that MS is slow to update there Wsus Store or is something wrong with my wsus.. it is configured to check for updates every hour.. I also tested to let my workstation check online for updates and the result was the same "no new pattern
files"
Best Regards

Can it be that MS is slow to update there Wsus Store or is something wrong with my wsus.. it is configured to check for updates every hour..
Configured for "every hour" is probably a bit excessive, but much more likely is that you've not properly configured your WSUS server and your WSUS clients to be able to get Definition Updates in a timely manner.
In addition to synchronizing WSUS at least 3x daily (every 8 hours), you also need to do the following:
Create an Automatic Approval rule for the Definition Updates update classification for the "All Computers" target group.
Enable the policy setting "Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation".
Set the CLIENT Detection Interval to 6 hours.

WSUS reinstall on 2012 SCCM server post-installation task fails to run/finish

I had to re-install WSUS on a 2012 R2 SCCM server (Windows 2012), and am running into several issues re-installing. It may help to point out that the SCCM SQL server is remote, so this isn't a WSUS / SQL 2012 issue.
The sticky post at the top of the WSUS forum has helpful troubleshooting information, and I have tried going through this as well as many other threads on this very topic of re-installing WSUS.
1. Roles for WSUS and WID were removed successfully. The WSUS Website was manually deleted from IIS. As this is a SCCM server, removing the IIS role is not an option.
2. I removed the existing WID database files for SUSDB
3. After rebooting, I verified registry keys were gone, system files were cleaned up, and deleted the program files\update services directory
4. This isn't a permission issue, as I have clearly installed this before on this server.
5. Registry keys, system files, and susdb files no longer exist, and the server has rebooted cleanly.
6. I am able to add the WSUS role selecting WID, and this installs WID without any errors. At this point, simply clicking the post installation task fails, generates an empty .tmp file in my %appdata%\temp folder, and exits the MMC.
7. This file is blank. Absolutely empty, so I couldn't really troubleshoot any post installation tasks.
8. Further investigation shows that the 'C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\' directory is gone, and isn't being
generated.
9. Ok... DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /Scanhealth didn't return any issues, so I copied the wsusutil out of the windows\WinSxS directory.
10. Yey! wsusutil postinstall runs, but bombs out on the IIS portion. It generated the DB without an issue, but results
in an IIS generation error. So, I installed WSUS on a clean 2012 install, then copied over the program files\updateServices directory to reclaim the missing files.
The log files show --
2013-12-06 10:30:34 Configuring IIS...
2013-12-06 10:30:35 Start: ConfigureWebsite
2013-12-06 10:30:36 Configuring website on port 8530

... ok - tripple checked that network service has permissions to .net and windows\temp folders.
netstat -a doesn't show anything running on port 8530 ( in case this was some weird port check in use)
Which goes back to the missing directory problem -- further net searches show that this is a reoccurring issue for some OOBE... sfc /verifyonly shows ... nothing.
What is left to be done at this point? The missing folders from the program directory seems to be a problem for some with some users right out of the box. I have read many other threads where users just formatted and started over. Not exactly a solution
- any help out there on this issue? Any suggestions to determine what file is missing, or generating the IIS issues?

Part of the post install tasks wanted to download some items including the tools folder.
Can you expand on this please. The WSUS post-install tasks do not download anything, except what is acquired during the initial synchronization with Microsoft.
Because of my group policy the WSUS server was trying to download the updates from itself even though it was not setup yet.
What update(s) was the WSUS server trying to "download"?
In fact, if the WSUS Server was not setup yet (but you already had a GPO in place), then the first issue here was performing deployment steps out of order.
But still.... except for the actual installation binaries for the WSUS Server Role on a WS2008SP2/WS2008R2 system, there's nothing the WSUS server needs to get from either Windows Update or a WSUS server. This scenario is actually discussed hundreds of times
in this forum, but complicating matters, this thread isn't about installing WSUS V3.2 on a WS2008SP2/WS2008R2 system, it's about installing WSUS v65 on a WS2012 system, so I'm a bit confused as to what the actual installation environment is that we're discussing.
I changed the WSUS server to get it's windows updates from Microsoft and then the post install task succeeded.
I'd really like to get some more details about what exactly in the "post-install task" was dependent upon content from WU/WSUS.

Error 80072f8f after installing Windows 8.1 / 2012 R2 "Update"

I just want to share my experience with the new Update.
We are using a WSUS (on Windows Server 2012) with a Wildcard certificate from Geotrust for some time now.
I manually installed the new "Windows 8.1 Update 1" on a Windows 8.1 and a Windows Server 2012 R2 System, both joined in the Domain and were able to update with the WSUS.
Right after the update both systems keeps failing to communicate with the WSUS with error 80072f8f.
After changing the ssl certificate on the WSUS Server to a internal PKI certificate the Systems could talk again with the wsus Server.
So keep in mind when you upgrade to check if the system still works with your wsus server.

I am also getting the same issue where the 80072f8f error occurs when attempting to scan for updates.
The client machines are Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Update 1 installed) and the WSUS server is also running Windows Server 2012 R2 Update 1.
You answers are not remotely helpful in this instance.
The OP has mentioned several times he is using a Windows Server 2012 WSUS box. Therefore the article you reference has no validity for this issue.
TLS 1.2 is enabled by default on 2012 so the linked article and advice unfortunately does not fix the issue.
Has anyone else had the 80072f8f error when using a Windows Server 2012 R2 WSUS box?
We see errors in the CAPI2 log for Verify Revocation Information
and Vertify Chain Policy. Althougjh browsing to our WSUS server in IE shows the correct validated certificate.
Any help would be appreciated.

Server 2012 R2 Update vs Windows 8.1 Update

Hi @all,
i am not sure about this Topic/request, but i hope you can help me :)
I have a Notebook ... Dell Inc., XPS 15 9530
So i installed Windows Server 2012 R2 Update.
After Installation of OS i installed all Driver's from Dell HomePage (Windows 8.1 Driver's) directly from the CAB Package.
After this i installed all Windows Updates from Microsoft Update.
Now i see, that in Windows Server 2012 R2 in compare to Windows 8.1 Update some Features are missing
1.) USB\VID_8087&PID_07DC\5&791A5BE&0&9 missing
2.) ACPI\VEN_ACPI&DEV_0008
-> Bluetooth i don't got working see 1. and 2.
-> WLAN i got working with enabling Wireless LAN Service
3.) Internet Explorer Extensions are Missing so no Flash works...
So my Question is, which Features and Function's i don't have in Windows Server 2012 R2 Update compare to Windows 8.1
Please Help :)
By the way, my idea is...
Host: Server 2012 R2 incl. DHCP, NAT, WDS, WSUS, SCVMM/ScSM/ScOrch
Hypervisor's: VMware, HyperV, Citrix (all managed by SCVMM, ScOrch, ScSM)
virtual Machine's: DC, SCCM, Exchange, Lync, W8.1, W10, W7, W2K3, W2K8R2, W2K12, W10S

In addition to what Dave is saying about finding drivers from the vendor (Microsoft does not write drivers for those devices, so it is up to the hardware vendor to provide them), you have a pretty aggressive desire for your little notebook.
"By the way, my idea is...
Host: Server 2012 R2 incl. DHCP, NAT, WDS, WSUS, SCVMM/ScSM/ScOrch
Hypervisor's: VMware, HyperV, Citrix (all managed by SCVMM, ScOrch, ScSM)
virtual Machine's: DC, SCCM, Exchange, Lync, W8.1, W10, W7, W2K3, W2K8R2, W2K12, W10S"
A single physical machine can run only a single hypervisor - you have listed three. Your best option is to use Hyper-V and forget the others. If you are running a hypervisor on a system, you should not run any other services in the parent partition,
so your idea of running DHCP, NAT, WDS, WSUS, SCVMM/SCSM/SCO on the host in addition to Hyper-V is a bit of a pipe dream. That means you need to move those into VMs. You can most likely build all the VMs you have listed, but unless you have a laptop
with boatloads of memory, you are not likely to be able to get them all running at the same time. From what I can tell, your particular Dell laptop can have a maximum of 16 GB of RAM. That's pretty good, but far short of what you would need unless
you want everything to really limp along.
. : | : . : | : . tim
Hi Tim,
thx for the text, but the text doesn't answer my question...
I now, what i do, and why i want to work with scvmm.
host: w2k12R2 with DHCP, NAT, SCVMM, WDS, MDT, WSUS
1. vm = DC, DNS
2. vm = hyperV
3. vm = vmware
4. vm = citrix
5. - 10. vm = w7, w8.1, w10, w2k3, w2k8r2, w2k12r2 (all installed over mdt/scvmm)
11. - 17. vm = msx2010, msx2013, lync2010, lync2013, sccm, scsm, scorch (all installed over mdt/scvmm)
that i dont start 2 - 4 at the same time is correct but by the way i Need a lab where i can test on every Plattform ;)
but my request was about Bluetooth and Different Features from w2k12r2 to w8.1update... ;)

SCCM 2012 R2 - Updates not installing

Hi all,
I have a SCCM 2012 R2 setup at a customer which has problems with distributing updates to the Windows 7 computers in the environment. The update group (with updates that are 100% sure required) is deployed to some test computers but the updates don't get
installed. It is also configured to be able to install the updates without looking at any maintenance windows. I see in the reporting that the updates are required, so in my opinion they should get installed.
I've checked the registry and the Windows Updates registry keys are pointing towards the right server (my SCCM primary site server). I've created a new software update group with fewer updates, same problem.
What I find in the UpdatesDeployment.log on one of the test machines is rather strange:

Any advice?

SCOM 2012 SP1 Update Rollups

Hi All,
I am planning to deploy patches on SCOM server. We are on SCOM 2012 SP1 as of now. As you know Microsoft has been released UR1, UR2, UR3, UR4, UR5 and UR6 for SCOM 2012 SP1.
Do I need to deploy each UR one by one on SCOM server or UR6 will have all fixes?
If I go for directly UR6 then does this patch contains all fixes which are available till UR5?

http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2014/04/23/system-center-2012-sp1-ur6-and-system-center-2012-r2-ur2-now-available.aspx
Customers can now download the latest update rollups for both System Center 2012 SP1 and System
Center 2012 R2. Update rollups provide a cumulative package of fixes for each System Center component and are available from Microsoft Update. Alternatively, they can be manually downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

WSUS on Server 2012 Standard R2 with SCCM 2012 Standard R2 Proper Setup

What is the proper setup (best practice) on setting up WSUS using Server 2012 Standard R2 to work properly with SCCM 2012 R2 Standard using Server 2012 Standard R2 on separate box?
1. Is it using WID or database during the setup of WSUS using Server 2012 Standard R2?
2. Once it setup properly on WSUS using Server 2012 Standard R2 either WID or database (using SQL 2012 Standard SP1), how do I connect with SCCM 2012 R2 Standard using Server 2012 Standard R2 on separate box?
3. On SCCM 2012 R2 Standard using Server 2012 Standard R2 just need to add WSUS Role, right? Is it using WID or database?
Thanks,
Reza

1. Generally, using the SQL instance you use for ConfigMgr is preferred.
2. The Software Update Point connects ConfigMgr to a WSUS instance.
3. See 2.
Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com
It's just as Jason said. The SUP role in SCCM basically "sits on top" of the WSUS role, whether it is local or remote is up to you. You basically install WSUS on a server like you normally would WITHOUT configuring it. I have used both WID and SQL. It's
always nicer to put it on your SQL server since that is (should be) backed up regularly and maintained.
Once you have WSUS installed you just point SCCMs SUP role at the installation and it takes over the rest.

Legacy WSUS GPOs & SCCM 2012

Good Afternoon All -
We are in the process of introducing SCCM 2012 onto our production network. Currently, we don't use WSUS to it's full potential, yet still have a few GP's that configure some of each workstation's update settings such as update location, frequency,
reboots, etc. Eventually, all of this will be taken over by SCCM, though.
Questions
1. Will SCCM's Client / SUP settings override and Group Policy for WSUS, does a GP win out, or is it a toss up?
2. When (assuming it's needed) do these WSUS policies need to be changed and/or disabled? Previously, I believe that I've just disabled any existing WSUS policy and let the SCCM client configure each machine.
3. So that there's no window where clients may NOT be configured how we want, would the best thing be to be configure SCCMSUP policy, deploy the clients, then change / disable WSUS GPOs?
4. If SCCM is configured the way we want, is there any need for any SUP related GPO's to exist for managed clients? (Besides the SCUP WSUS one which enables "Allow signed content from
intranet Microsoft update service location”)
Thanks for your help!
Ben K.

I've found that even though a GPO should overwrite the Local Policy set by SCCM this isnt actually the case.
If you look at the WUAHandler.log file you see entries for the following
Enabling WUA Managed server policy to use server: http://MYSCCMWSUSSERVER.MYDOMAIN.COM
Waiting for 2 mins for Group Policy to notify of WUA policy change...
Group policy settings were overwritten by a higher authority (Domain Controller) to: Server http://GPOsetwsusserver
Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent of type (2) and id ({9F08A663-567F-4A1A-8F1A-F56DF97D3E66}). Error = 0x87d00692.
theres an MS blog on the issue here
https://blogs.technet.com/b/sus/archive/2008/12/02/wuahandler-log-failed-to-add-update-source-for-wuagent-error-0x80040692.aspx
The options are
1. Remove the group policy at the domain level
or
2. Use the same WSUS server as the Software Update Point for the SCCM as well
Thats not very helpful in my scenerio as I'd like to keep the SCCM client installed for software metering & reporting, but i'd like the WSUS server to be set by GPO for these specific computers as their updates are managed by a vendor because
of the be-spoke software running on them

WSUS and SCCM 2012

I'm finally getting around to trying to integrate WSUS with SCCM 2012 - i.e., to begin using SCCM 2012 to manage and deploy all Microsoft updates rather than using plain old WSUS as I have in the past.
My first impression is that it's much more complicated than using WSUS alone. That said, I'm wondering now what are the advantages of using SCCM 2012 to manage Windows Updates rather than using WSUS? So far, I've added all of this complexity to the
process, but I'm not seeing the added benefits after having gone through all this. Anyone else agree?
I'm about to just trash the whole thing and go back to doing it the old way. Thoughts?

WSUS with SCCM 2012 - Products Missing, and Best Practices

Good morning all
I am integrating SCCM with WSUS, and I have a few questions regarding products. I've noticed when running through the "Add site system roles wizard" in SCCM 2012 console that when I go to "Products" it does NOT list a few major
products, such as office 2013, sql server 2013, exchange 2013, etc.
Am I missing something? I'm sure I am...what do I need to do?
Also, if there are any other gotchas or best practices you all can point me in the right direction as far as managing SCCM / WSUS together i'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Do not use WSUS Console to manage the updates. All you things you can finish is in the SCCM Console. Refer to the link posted by Jason.

SoftMotion 2012 Example update

Hi,
I noticed that the examples shipped with NI Softmotion module is not updated. Although the directory has been changed, the example still points to LabVIEW 2009 folder. I also would like to ask whether these examples was tested with LabVIEW 2012 as it doesn't run with my machine which has LabVIEW 2012 and Solidworks 2010 SP4.
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi VBCoder,
Thank you for the feedback. I am trying to get the examples you mentioned, I believe that I will have to have SolidWorks installed first to see them so that may take some finagling, but in the mean time, I have a couple of questions. Note: I did see your other post with the error message we are getting.
First, I was wondering if you are using the NI LabVIEW-SolidWorks Mechatronics Toolkit Alpha version (see here)?
Second, I wanted to confirm that the examples work in 2009 (or which non-2012 versions if any).
