Hi,

Faraz, <br />
<br />
Thanks for you feedback. <br />
<br />
I understand your point and had already downloaded the latest updates from the vendor and it turned out that the existing drivers are up to date. However, I am concerned that the updated fails and would like to understand why. I am slo experiencing some strange issues with the network performance on the virtual machines and wanted to exclude this as a possible source of the problem.<br />

Hi all,<br />
Windows Update is failing for an optional update on my WIndows Server 2008 R2 Standard server. An extract from the Windows Update log is attached. This server is my test server and ia the &quot;Root&quot; server with 4 other virtual servers installed on it. The update is for the network card. I have also tried the update with all the virtual servers stopped.<br />
<br />
Any Ideas gratefully received.<br />
