Windows R2 to Windows upgrade access issue. Skip to main content. Find threads, tags, and users Hello, We've recently set a WSUS infrastructure in our environment and after struggles to set it up and make it downloading patches, we are facing a different issue now. It just won't download the patches ReportingEvents.

Okay, pick one of those five systems not installing additional updates. Verify that Service Pack 3 was successfully installed. Then do the following: Record the system time.

Restart the Automatic Updates service. Wait 30 minutes. Notta is correct in his advice to determine whether there are updates shown as needed in the console, and to inspect the WindowsUpdate. In the majority of cases, deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder will do absolutely nothing of value! If there are updates reported as needed in the console but the client logfile says no updates are available , this is likely a valid and accurate indication.

Note: This presumes that the updates are approved for the correct group s and that the client is listed in the correct group s ; if the client cannot see the approvals, then the updates are not available either.

If the logfile shows updates detected, but the downloads are failing, this is almost always a server-side issue usually missing files on the server , but we would need to know exactly why the downloads are failing in order to identify the correct remediation.

Drivers are notoriously problematic and should be treated as a completely separate issue. When all other issues are resolved, then we can intelligently evaluate issues with Drivers. In most cases, the failure of a driver to detect as needed is an accurate assessment. Not all drivers are available via WSUS, and quite often they're a revision or two behind what's already available from the vendor. Sometimes the installed hardware isn't actually the right HardwareID for the driver, even though the product has the same commercial marketing name.

Shall go though your notes and respond again. They do not show any updates required in the in WSUS management console. I checked the list of approved updates and ones present though internet are downloaded on WSUS. Tried removing the said folder with no success. Windowsupdate log has no errors and as we speak just installed some other updates fine still no drivers.

Seems as the issue with not all updates being installed was because my colleague had not downloaded updates in the last week so that initially describes why the internet was displaying more critical updates. Looked at the clients wsus report and it currently says no updates required. Ali Oct 18, at UTC. Thank you for your pertinent questions, I just check and found that the online updates are not confirmed in WSUS server. I understand better now.

Ultimately there is no issue on these servers, I have just to pay attention to approve the right updates. Adam AJ Tek This person is a verified professional. WSUS expert.
