Security Monthly Quality Rollup fails each month on Server 2008 R2
I have two Server 2008 R2 running on VMware that I just cant install the Monthly Security Updates on. They appear to install but on reboot the server starts to run the configuring windows bit then gives a message that it failed and proceeds to roll back the updates. When I check the update history it gives a message that it failed to install with the error code 80070020.
Updates are controlled via a WSUS server.
I've tried stopping the updates, BITS and Cryptographic services, renamed the SoftwareDistribution folder and started the services again. I've run SFC /scannow and also DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
I've also tried manually downloading an update and installing it with the same result

Did you ever figure out a fix for this? Same issue with a few of our server 2008 R2's.
I tried installing latest and then went back and tried all the others and they all install, reboot, and then fail and rollback.

I'd start a new thread since each user's issues are unique.

I see a ton of people having the same issue with a quick google Search.
I am going to try installing SP2 and see if it fixes it
Try installing the latest SSU
also I'd verify system and servicing health by running;
sfc /scannow
also system update readiness tool
