Windows Update not working on Windows Server 2016
Hi everyone, I have a server with Windows Server 2016: For some reason, I cant update Windows, it get freezer with "Preparing to install updates 0%" message. The server is connected to internet and i can navigate without problems. Since 2018 this server is not updated. Someone knows how i can fix this? If Windows Update doesn't works, i can download the updates from a web? Thanks!Error 0x80242017 when installing KB5004945 from WSUS (but not from Microsoft)
I have several clients running Win 10 v20H2 that are failing to install the update "2021-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 20H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5004945) from our WSUS server with "Status: download error - 0x80242017". However, if I manually log into the workstation and "Check online for updates from Microsoft Update", it downloads and installs the update with no errors. The "Self Contained" cab file for the update is present in the proper directory on the WSUS server, although the two "Express" files are not. The WSUS server is running on Windows Server 2019 v1809. Here's what I've done for troubleshooting on the client side: Run Windows Update Troubleshooter: It can't find any issues. Reset Windows Updates components "manually" using batch script. Run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth Run sfc /scannow I've attached the System and WindowsUpdateClient event logs, as well as the CBS.log and DISM.log from the workstation I'm troubleshooting with.

Windows Update Failing
I have 8 Virtual Machines all running Windows Server 2016 Standard and all are setup with a Windows Update Group Policy to run on a specific night and time. However, I have one server that continues to fail on the same 2 Windows Updates. Not sure why this server is having issues with the updates, as all the servers are pretty much identical. Any ideas to help me troubleshoot? Here are the 2 updates that continue to fail: 2019-12 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems (KB4530689) 2019-07 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems (KB4507459)
How do I verify network endpoint connectivity.
Hi, Is there an easy way to verify internet endpoint connectivity. I come across this regularly where a product documents that I need to verify internet endpoint connectivity to various url's and ports. For example, for windows update: - this page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-troubleshooting has this entry - Ensure that devices can reach necessary Windows Update endpoints through the firewall. For example, for Windows 10, version 2004, the following protocols must be able to reach these respective endpoints: Protocol Endpoint URL TLS 1.2 *.prod.do.dsp.mp.microsoft.com HTTP emdl.ws.microsoft.com HTTP *.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com HTTP *.windowsupdate.com HTTPS *.delivery.mp.microsoft.com TLS 1.2 *.update.microsoft.com TLS 1.2 tsfe.trafficshaping.dsp.mp.microsoft.com How do I test that. obviously using ICMP is no test for verifying http, https or TLS connectivity. What is the process? I haven't found anything powershell to do it as everything seems to rely on ping. i figure for the standard addresses, I could do something like this for http Telnet address1.microsoft.com 80 but I figure Telnet is old school, there should be something newer around these days and also how do I test the entries with * on the front of the name how do I test TLS 1.2 I'm sure there are hundreds of tech support people out there doing this currently, somebody should be able to point me in the right direction.
Windows Update: Deadline vs. Deferral
Hi, for Windows Update I can configure via Intune two separate settings: Feature update deferral period (days) Deadline for feature updates I'm not sure how these two settings work together: If I enter a value of 30 days deferral period and a 7 day deadline I would assume that the user will need to install it at least after 37 days. But from the documentation it is not clear if those values add up - perhaps I'd need to set the deadline always on a higher number than the deferral period. Can someone clarify this / has seen it in real world and knows what happens?Problem installing Cumulative Update Windows Server 2016
Hi! We have a Citrix VDA running on Windows Server 2016, and trying to install Cumulative Update 2018-10 but after the restart the process stops at 99% and then the installation reverts. Same thing happens when I try Cumulative Update 2018-11. But all the other Updates works, for example: 2018-11, update for Windows Server 2016 We have tried the following things: Renamed the softwaredistribution folder Tried manually install Run DISM-commands with no errors Run SFC /Scannow no errors The error I see in the log is: Event 20, WindowsUpdateClient Installation error: It was not possible to install the Update, cause error 0x800F0922: 2018-10, Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 Do anyone here have a suggestion what I could try more? Best regards Gustav
