WSUS - Server 2012 Client Issues

Hey all,
I seem to be having a lot of WSUS issues recently. I have a pure Windows 2008 R2 domain in my lab environment. I decided to start testing server 2012 and I've added the servers to the domain. My first glaring issue is that after I ran the KB2720211-x64 fix
the 2012 servers are appearing as "Windows 2000 Datacenter Server."
My second issue is that the 2012 servers are unable to "check for updates" from the control panel menu. I get the following error: "Windows could not search for new updates" Of course the code is 800B0001. Any ideas?

My first glaring issue is that after I ran the KB2720211-x64 fix the 2012 servers are appearing as "Windows 2000 Datacenter Server."
That's because KB2720211 does not provide support for WS2012/Win8 systems; you need to install KB2734608.
My second issue is that the 2012 servers are unable to "check for updates" from the control panel menu. I get the following error: "Windows could not search for new updates" Of course the code is 800B0001. Any ideas?
Install the correct patch and follow the post-installation instructions in the KB article, and all will be copasetic.

Record the system time of the Windows 7 client.
Reboot the Windows 7 client.
Run this command from a command prompt: wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow.
Wait =30= minutes.
Post the entries from the WindowsUpdate.log starting at the time recorded in Step #1.
I have noted the time at 12:06 am and reboot the machine. and at 12:27 i have Run this command from a

How to simulate server 2012+clients connetion in virtualbox without internet connection

Hi, I am new to this forum and also not familiar with simulation in virtualbox. I want to know how to simulate server 2012+clients connection in virtualbox without internet connection. I couldn't join the client computer (windows 7 installed) to
the domain (the windows server 2012). I already added the DHCP , AD DS and DNS roles features in the windows server 2012. Can someone put me through?

If you're using VirtualBox you might be better off asking this over on their forum
https://forums.virtualbox.org/, since it's not a Microsoft product. That said I have used it myself, and I think what you need is to ensure you're using the Internal Networking option
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_internal and make sure that both virtual machines have their network card setup with the same name / network ID. Once that's done you
can configure them on the same network range and they should be able to communicate.

WSUS server and client configuration issues

I just inherited WSUS from my predecessor (it was turned off because of a full disk) so I’m still learning how to use it. Turning it back on I changed where updates should come from, they were stored locally and now I’m pulling them down off of the Microsoft
Update location. What I’m seeing is that I have a bunch of computers that WSUS “sees” but are showing “Failed or Needed” status. Unless I visit each machine and manually do the updates this status does not change. Additionally I have some client computers
(Windows 7) that are not showing up as managed by WSUS. If I reading this right I’m running version Update Services 6.2.9200.16384 on Management Console 3.0 Version 6.2 (build 9200) on Windows Server 2012.
How can I force WSUS to automatically update the “Failed and Needed” devices?
How can I get those clients that are not being managed by WSUS to be managed?
Some of the things that I have done so far on the server and clients are:
Create a GPO (see attached for WSUS)
wuauclt
/detectnow
wuauclt /reportnow
wuauclt.exe /detectnow
gpupdate /force after
modifying the GPO
I even ran the SolarWinds WSUS diagnostic (as a non-administrator) and got this as the output:
# Solarwinds® Diagnostic Tool for the WSUS Agent # 1/23/2015
Machine state
User rights: User does not have administrative rights (Administrator rights are not available)
Update service status: Running
Background Intelligent Transfer service status:
Running
OS Version: Windows 8.1 Pro
Windows update agent version:   7.9.9600.17489 (WU Agent is OK)
Windows Update Agent configuration settings
Automatic Update:    Enabled

Use WSUS Server: Not found (There is no such key)
Windows Update Server: Not found (There is no such key)
Windows Update Status Server: Not found (There is no such key)
WSUS URLs are identical: Values are empty
WSUS Server Connectivity -- Connectivity check is impossible
So, my questions are:
What tool do I use to configure the client machine?
How do I get WSUS to update my clients?
Thanks
Sam

Steven,
I'm pretty sure that this is not the right forum to discuss this in but just so we can close this case.
On my computer I ran the command gpupdate /force I
then rebooted my computer to make sure that the group policy would be updated. The first screen shot is from my domain controller and the second is from my computer. As you can see the Domain Controller has the correct settings but the local machine doesn't.
Other parts of the DC GPO settings have worked so I'm somewhat comfortable that it is being propagated properly.

Infamous 0x80072EE6 error WSUS (Server 2012)

Hi Folks
In a test test lab I have setup a windows 2012 R2 server (home-dc-01.pcecorp.com) and a few domain joined windows 8 clients. The server has WSUS installed and I have configured a group policy with WSUS settings.
However the test clients report the Infamous error: 0x80072EE6 when I try to run an update.
client log snip:
2014-10-21 14:45:18:403 884 960 EP FATAL: SLS: Failed to construct full endpoint URL, error = 0x80072EE6
I have tried setting WUServer and WUStatusServer in group policy to combinations of:
home-dc-01.pcecorp.com
http://home-dc-01.pcecorp.com
http://home-dc-01.pcecorp.com:8530 (I understand this is what I should use!)
the client is picking up the settings from group policy policy as [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] is getting populated
I can query DNS and ping 'home-dc-01.pcecorp.com'
Date/time and zone are correctly set
I have disabled the firewall on both the server and client
Dropped a test.htm file on the server in "C:\Program Files\Update Services\WebServices\Root"and I can sucsesfully access this from a client in a browser at: http://home-dc-01.pcecorp.com:8530/test.htm
Bindings on the 'WSUS Administraton' site are as default:
http: 8530
https: 8531
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The error code 0x80072EE6 means that the client can't recognize the protocol.
Plese post the complete windowsupdate.log here. It may give some hints.
Besides, could you try to run the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool on the client?

WSUS - Server 2012 R2 - Export and Import

Greetings,
I have a Server 2012 R2 system with the WSUS role installed. This server resides on a disconnected network so we must bring updates from an online WSUS server. I have experience performing successful exports and imports in the past with Server 2008
R2 and WSUS 3.0 SP2 (with KB2828185). However, I have yet to get a successful import on Server 2012 R2. The issue I am experiencing comes after what appears to be a successful import. All of the updates show up in the catalog, but none of
the approvals are there. I approve the relevant updates and the number of updates needing files on the status screen increase, but they never verify the content. The individual updates are stuck indefinitely waiting for content with no errors to
be found anywhere. Both servers have identical OS and WSUS configuration. Here is my procedure.
Source Server
- Approve/Decline relevant updates
- Wait for download to finish
- Run Server Cleanup Wizard
- Backup WSUSContent directory using 7-Zip to break into DVD size files
- wsusutil.exe export export.xml.gz export.log (I've tried export.cab and export.gz, neither produces a different result)
- Copy and extract all content to disconnected server.
- Import metadata with "wsusutil.exe import export.xml.gz import.log"
As I said, I get no related error messages in any event log, SoftwareDistribution.log, WindowsUpdate.log, Change.log.
When I've done this in the past with WSUS 3.2, the status dashboard would show all the approved updates that require content and that number would quickly decrease as the system would validate the files in the WSUSContent directory. This is occurring
on both my test server and my live server. I'm confident that I have missed something, but I need help. Anything that anyone can offer would be appreciated.

Hi Wayne,
Before we export and import updates, we should confirm that the settings for express installation files and update languages on the WSUS export server match the settings on the WSUS import server. If these settings do not match, updates will not
be correctly applied.
>> I approve the relevant updates and the number of updates needing files on the status screen increase, but they never verify the content.
Please try to run wsusutil reset.
If issue persists, please check if the WSUS content folder has the proper configuration.
Besides, could you please restart the export WSUS server and export/import again?
Best Regards.

Remote Desktop Connection Server 2012 Clients only using on DC as Logon Server.

I am using Server 2012 and have an RDC Server running on a VM. Originally I had ordered the licensed version as Essentials was provided to me which does not allow for a full domain environment, which is required for the RDC server. Anyway, I
used Eval versions to get started, not thinking or realizing that the DC would never be able to get Activated since it is an Eval. So after 4 days I have finally, loaded Server 2012 on a new VM, promoted to DC, Transferred FSMO roles...DNS is up and
replicating across both DC's. The Eval keeps shutting off and was going to demote it and remove, but whenever it is shutdown the Clients receive a "No Logon Servers are available " error. I start up the old DC and it works. I doublechecked
all of the roles have been moved, I checked the RDC gateway, everything points to the same Domain information, but when I check an account using 'CMD set' it shows the old DC as the Logon Server. Is there something I am missing in the RD Gateway or somewhere
else. Is there a way to force it to use the new DC? I have tried setting the options in remote desktop connection to use a particular TS Gateway setting and it doesnt seem to work. Can someone please help me think about this and offer a
suggestion or let me know if you need more info. I can figure nothing else out at this point.
Thanks so much in Advance.
-T

it sounds like your clients / rdc servers may still be pointing to the old DC for DNS.
Can you check you have updated DNS on the clients to talk to your new domain controller.
Regards,
Denis Cooper

Help keep the forums tidy, if this has helped please mark it as an answer
The new DC is the only DNS server listed on the RDC Server and is the only DNS listed for the clients other than the gateway which have as a secondary. If I change the static on the old DC I cannot login, as soon as I put it back, I can login and it
shows that DC as the logon server.
I did a simple recursive test on both DNS servers....The new Domain Controller passes, the Old One which I am trying to remove, does not.
I will reply with any other updates as I continue to look into this and thanks for the suggestions.
So I also Pinged the domain from the RDC Server as suggested and it replies back with the old DC IP.
Not sure why.

Server 2012 Password issue on new domain

We recently setup a new domain controller running Server 2012 R2 standard 64 bit. All user profiles were setup in Active Directory. The default password we set users was Welcome1 and we chose all the defaults for the password policy. We set each account
to force the user to change their password when they first login.
The issue we see is that when a user logs in and tries to change their password, it will not let them change their password the way it should be. For example, the account "testuser" was set to Welcome1. When I tried to change it to
Atlanta@2 or Georgia8 or Nexeo+=7 or Kentucky9 it said "Unable to update the password. The value provided for the new password does not meet the length, complexity, or history requirements
of the domain"
I then tried to change it to Welcome2 and it accepted it.
I then went on the server and reset it logged in as administrator and see no issues (I can change it to whatever I want). So the issue is on the user end. I also turned OFF complexity requirements.
I logged back into the account and tried to change the password to Kentucky7 and it worked. I then did a CTRL ALT DEL and tried to change it to Kentuky9 and it gave the same error.
I'm not sure what is going on. Maybe there are time intervals on how often a user is allowed to change their password in Server 2012? Any ideas as to what is going on?

You must set minimum password age.

SSRS 2012 - Windows Server 2012 R2 issue with OLEDB Connection String

Hi ABAA101,
According to your description, when you use csv file as data source in SSRS 2012 report, you got the error message.
I tested the issue in my local machine, due to some policy restrictions, I could not install Access in my local machine. To workaround the issue, we can use the connection string like below:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\report;
Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"
The csv file is stored in report folder in C driver.
In Query text box in the dataset, we can use the query like below:
Select * from new.csv
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

SQL Server 2012 Installation Issue

Hi
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but I'll post anyway.
Ialready have sql 2005 and 2008r2 installed on my local machine running windows 7, 64 bit.
I recently tried to install sql 2012 but ran into a problem that I'm stumped by. The installation runs fine, no errors or issues. When I start 2012 the SS Management studio window appears but the usual splash screen in the middle of the window asking to
to connect to a server does not. If I try hitting any of the meny items at the top of the screen the SSMS window just hangs.
I have service pack 1 installed also. I uninstalled and tried again but still no luck. my SQL 2005 and 2008r2 version are still fine and run as normal. I also tried installing sql 2014 to see if that would work but I had the same issue as with 2012.
Any ideas anyone?
thanks in advance

Hi,
Both SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014 require .NET Framework 4.0 which does not required by the previous versions.
Make sure that . NET Framework 4.0 has been successfully installed on your system before you install SQL Server

SCCM 2012 SP1 + WSUS + Server 2012 + SQL Server 2012

Hi all;
I installed SCCM 2012 with Sp1 for my site server and everything is going well.. And than i installed the WSUS role on my Windows Server 2012 and SCCM 2012 SP1 it gave an error message which is "Fatal Error: The schema version of the database is from a newer
version of WSUS than currently installed. You must either patch your WSUS server to at least that version or drop the database." My database server is SQL Server 2012... Do you know any pathc for WSUS or SQL Server 2012 doesnt support WSUS yet???
Thank You...
MCT

Normally if you are going to install SCCM 2012 SP1 +Windows 2012 with SQL 2012, Then you better use the SQL 2012 sp1.
also when you are installing the WSUS version 6.2 which come with server 2012 make sure you leave the default settings as it is. it shows in the below article.
also when you are giving the path to save the WSUS contents make sure the drive you going to create the wsus folder and the place where you going to download the updates is having free disk space and its formatted with the NTFS volume. Also the service account
you are using for this configuration should have the admin rights to the location of the wsus folder you going to create,
Thanks

Server 2012 DirectAccess Issues

I have DirectAccess configured on Server 2012. Just a single NIC configuration. I've got it configured to work with Windows 7 and everything is fine as far as accessing network resources from the DirectAccess client, but not the other way around.
I've setup ISATAP for the machines that I want to communicate with the clients and that appears to be working.
The first problem we are having is the client will not register with our DNS servers.
If we manually add a record with it's IPv6 address, we can ping the client, RDP to the client, but Microsoft Remote Assistance or trying to browse to the client doesn't work.
I believe I have opened the correct ports and allowed edge traversal on the client. Do you guys have any other suggestions? Thank you.

Hi,
"To configure ISATAP you have to put ISATAP host (A) record in your DNS and all machines can then resolve this name to configure their ISATAP adapters." (Quoted from below article)

In addition go through beneath articles and thread for more information.

Change wsus server on client

Hi, I have several clients that point through GPO to wsusserver1.
Now I deployed wsusserver2 and modified GPO in order to point to this one, but in wsusserver2 console, in computer list, I cannot see my clients. They are still handled by wsusserver1. How can I say "wsusserver1, don't manage my clients anymore, let
do it by wsuserver2"? What happens if I delete the client from wsuserver1?
(Obviously I verified that the new policy has been received by the clients).
Thank you

Hi, the gpupdate works correctly, I am working also on other policies and when I run gpupdate and gpresult I can see new policies applied correctly. But it seems that clients are still managed by the old server, also if on the old server the "last
status report" is not a recent date, while other clients that have never been registered on the old server (only in the new one) has a "last status report" updated to today on the new wsus server.
Sounds to me like you did not properly implement the GPO.
Based on this description, your GPO for the downstream server is not being applied.
Did you create a *NEW* GPO.. or did you edit the GPO that already applied to these systems?
