SBS 2011 SBS Console Failed Updates

Hi everyone,

In my company there is a 2003 server which doesn't want to install 2 small updates. So on that machine the updates are show up as failed. Because they are linked to the SBS 2011, it also shows up as failed on the SBS Console.

Is there anyway to just clean the updates on the 2003 and not install them anymore so that the updates doesn"t show failed and ultimately also doesn't show failed in the SBS Console?

Or can I just clean the SBS Console so that this update doesn't show up as failed?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Thanks for the suggestion RobWill. I deleted the softwaredistribution but still the updates weren't downloaded. I downloaded each update seperatly based on the KB and they installed great except for the Internet Explorer 8 update because it wasn't designed for the OS.

But still 2 updates show up as failed on the SBS Report. The strange thing is when I look in the SBS Console with "Updates with errors" no updates are shown there..
I excluded the server from the WSUS, but still the SBS report shown failed updates.

Do you have another recommendation? Thanks again mate!
