HOW-TO: Import Out of Band Updates to WSUS using Microsoft Edge Chromium IE Mode and PowerShell
----- I recommend using https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Import-WSUSUpdate Full instructions to install the module are located here - https://www.ajtek.ca/blog/the-new-way-t...
I added both sites to our IE Compability mode lists for Edge.
<site url="catalog.update.microsoft.com/">
<compat-mode>IE11</compat-mode>
<open-in allow-redirect="true">IE11</open-in>
</site>
<site url="catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx">
<compat-mode>IE11</compat-mode>
<open-in allow-redirect="true">IE11</open-in>
</site>Using this, I get an error "To use this website, you browser must have the user data persistence setting enabled." I also added Windows Update Catalog to Trusted Site Zone list. In Trusted Site zone list, I have Userdata Persistence turned on. Its like IE mode isn't honoring that setting.
For fun, I changed Compatibility Mode to IE8. In that mode, the message appears, however when I go to view basket where I would import updates, I get a different error, "Error number: 800A138F" instead.
I am doing this on a W11 system with WSUS and other RSAT tools installed.
- I have not tried the list yet, cannot tell. Thanks for adding this to the discussion. Makes sense to make it this way as the setting in the guide will be removed after a time. I noticed that later in the description it is not permanent per user.
- My guide was helpful until it lasted valid. Anyone else seeing the issue that ActiveX can no longer be installed in IE Mode, thus the import of updates cannot be executed?
- Yes, it's stopped working since late July
the whole /v7/site/ no longer works, and auto redirected to NonActiveX url
