I'm a newbie to WSUS so forgive my learning curve!:) Using Server 2012 WSUS (4.0?) and a couple of test clients across OS's. Seeing some differences between WSUS and direct to Windows Update. On both my Win7e and Win8p clients: - Windows Update says no updates - WSUS says 2 Windows updates (KB931125 and KB2798897) - one published yesterday and one published 15 days ago.

A new tab will open in IE, it will remember all your items in the basket and a Import Directly into Windows Server Update Services checkbox exists now! Just import the hotfixes to WSUS that way, and approve them manually or make an Auto Approval Rule. Feb 27, 2017 - Here are 4 tools that can install updates offline from CD/DVD, USB drive or even. To download and distribute the patches direct from Microsoft's own servers. Formally called c't Update, WSUS Offline Update is another tool that can. If only there was a tool to scan an offline Windows image for updates,.

- Why is WSUS showing updates that Windows Update isn't? Now I have seen where WSUS DIDN'T have something Windows Update did have (IE 10) and I could load that in manually, but I haven't seen any updates that WSUS had that Windows Update didn't. Anyone else seen this or can explain it? Thank you -Andrew Edited Mar 29, 2013 at 17:16 UTC. KB931125 was marked as 'Updates' and is NOT in my auto-approve rules. I did manually approve this one.

I am auto-approving Critical Updates, Definition Updates, Security Updates. I'm not storing update files locally, computers will install from Microsoft Update. Thank you for the link - API docs and client/server diagnostics - Client diags returned: WSUS Client Diagnostics Tool Checking Machine State Checking for admin rights to run tool..... PASS Automatic Updates Service is running..... PASS Background Intelligent Transfer Service is running.. PASS GetFileVersion(szEngineDir,&susVersion) failed with hr=0x80070002 The system cannot find the file specified. The only server diags that looked relevant was PurgeUnneededFiles.

Ran that errored out with: Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.UpdateServices.Common, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies.

File name: 'Microsoft.UpdateServices.Common, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' at Microsoft.SoftwareDistribution.Tools.SusServerTool.Main(String[] args) I'm not sure any of that diag info helps, sure doesn't seem relevant to me. Thanks -Andrew. From: Revision note, January 11, 2013 The KB 931125 package that was posted to Windows Update and WSUS on December 11, 2012, was intended only for client SKUs.

However, the package was also offered for server SKUs. Because some customers reported issues after they installed the package on servers, the KB 931125 updates for server SKUs were expired from Windows Update and WSUS. We recommend that you sync your WSUS server and approve the expiry.

Maybe somehow the target machine has picked up that this update is expired.

This error is a manifestation of running the 32-bit ONLY Microsoft Client Diagnostic Tool on a 64-bit system.

These results are inconclusive. Try the, which does run on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Andrew Teets wrote: - WSUS says 2 Windows updates (KB931125 and KB2798897) - one published yesterday and one published 15 days ago.

- Why is WSUS showing updates that Windows Update isn't? -Andrew A couple of things to consider here.

The most recent edition of KB931125 was published in December, 2012. KB931125 for Server operating systems has been Expired. If you've not Declined those Expired updates, it's possible that the WSUS console will show them as 'Needed' for server operating systems. KB931125 should NOT be installed on a Server operating system.
