Windows update and WSUS

Burnsy2023 · 2 Apr 2009 at 21:43

I'm getting very annoyed as for a while my Vista machine hasn't been getting updates. However, when checking for updates I get a error: 80070424.

I've tried restarting the BITS service, I've tried registering DLLs using these commands:

regsvr32 wuaueng.dll ->Wouldn't work until UAC is turned off.
Regsvr32 QMGR.DLL -> this one errors out and says it can't find an entry point.

I've got WSUS on my server and have added a group policy so that it should get the updates from that. I've run gpupdate but how do I tell what server it's looking at?

Any other advice?

Hmm. I take it WSUS has the correct computer groups set up and this machine is pointing to the right server in its GPO?

This might be a step too high but is your gpresult coming back with the WSUS GPO as a result? Remember, the WSUS GPO should be completely seperate on its own OU.

All present and correct

I really don't want to reinstall :mad:

Sorted this in the end with help. Turns out it was a problem with the Windows Trusted Module Service. Readding registry values sorted it out. Thank god I don't have to format.

You always have to format, it's just a question of when

Think of it like death - it's inevitable.

Lets hope I don't have to format until I'm collecting my pension
