No Updates after upgrading from 2008R2 to 2012R2
Hi, I am experiencing strange issues after an inplace upgrade from 2008R2 to 2102R2. Afterward Windows is not finding any updates anymore. "Checking for Updates" is all I see for over a week. Ran the script from Microsoft resetting update agent (ResetWUEng.cmd), but did not help. Even found other methods in a different script, which did not solve the issue either. This is the contents #Stop Windows Update , BITS and cryptographic services: net stop bits net stop wuauserv net stop appidsvc net stop cryptsvc taskkill /im wuauclt.exe /f #Delete service files qmgr*.dat from the folder %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\: Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat" #Rename system folders, in which configuration files and update cache are stored (if necessary, they can be used as backups).

When using a local WSUS server, you can also reset the current binding of a client to the WSUS server by deleting the following parameters in the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate: REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v AccountDomainSid /f REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v PingID /f REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientId /f REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v TargetGroup /f REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v WUServer /f REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v WUStatusServer /f #Start the previously stopped services: sc.exe config wuauserv start= auto sc.exe config bits start= delayed-auto sc.exe config cryptsvc start= auto sc.exe config TrustedInstaller start= demand sc.exe config DcomLaunch start= auto net start bits net start wuauserv net start appidsvc net start cryptsvc Then I ran WindowsUpdateDiagnostic.diagcab to fix the problem. No luck at all. Then I followed a procedure from a different post. It suggested to add a key in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" There I inserted a dword key with "DisableDualScan" and a value of 1. I checked, so that Client connects to WSUS instead of Microsoft Update PS C:\Windows\system32> $MUSM.Services | select Name, IsDefaultAUService Name IsDefaultAUService ---- ------------------ Microsoft Update False Windows Store False Windows Server Update Service True Windows Update False PS C:\Windows\system32> Any idea what is going wrong?
