2 Computers not receving All the updates from WSUS 3.0 SP2
Windows 2008 SP2
SQL 2008
WSUS 3.0 SP2
Was getting a few errors on WSUS and I decided to uninstall and then reinstall
After a few days of tweaking I have all my computers contacting the WSUS server for updates.
I have two computers
1. Windows 8.1
2. Windows 2008 R2 Server
Both of the above apply updates as do the others the problem is that these two computers never show 100%
The Windows 2008 Server has one update that does not deploy and the Windows 8.1 computer has 143 updates not deployed they are all language updates.
They are all in Install approval and status is not installed.
ran many wuauclt /reportnow /detectnow
no change
Other updates have come in on both machines and they all apply and are installed
It is just these two
I even tried to change the approval status to removal but they still show.
How can I get these updates applied ? or Removed
Thanks
Tom

Thanks
The thing is these two computers are working fine with all other updates
I think I would just like to get ride of these updates they are really not required.
If the computer where not getting any updates then that article would be great and I will save that info in case that happen in the future.
Further thoughts?

If you can see the updates in Windows Updates, set them to hidden, and then the issue should go away. I have done this before.
Which 2 updates ??
ASKER
Guys
I attached the windowsupdate.log files of both computers.
You will see that they are excepting and applying other updates just not the ones that I mentioned before.
The One computer is a server which only has one update which is KB972493
The other is Windows 8.1 which has 143 updates all language updates.
You will see a error message it that one.

Your server is reporting "# 0 updates detected"
On the windows 8.1 with 143 updates( Which BTW are *NOT* all language updates)...I have had this happen to me where you need to deselect all but 5-10 updates and let them install in groups rather than all at once.

Thanks for the info
Yes the server shows no updates but WSUS reports that it has one very strange
Even tho it has been recieving other updates from WSUS just fine this one is stuck somehow
For the windows 8
Wow it took me forever to assign them
Needs to be an easier way to do this than one at a time
So remove all but 5 you say? did not realize that WSUS could not roll out that many updates
Will try that later
Any further thoughts on the server issue?

Which update is this ?? Is it approved ??

What I said was that on this 8.1 client to install 5-10 at a time, *NOT* to remove from WSUS

The One computer is a server which only has one update which is KB972493
Yes it is approved and ready install
On 8.1 I will change them to 5 to 10 at a time

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
On 8.1 I will change them to 5 to 10 at a time
You should only need to do it a couple times before you can just allow the remainder to be installed.

Ok
How do I remove it then?

Did you not read https://akbaraji.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/wsus-kb972493-reports-needed-unnecessarily/ ???
Where you can use one of these options.
1) Decline the update in WSUS for all groups. But you must make sure this update already installed on your WSUS Servers. This will make all server clean without notification that show the server needed that update.
2) Setup a separate group in WSUS for just your WSUS servers. Approve the update for the WSUS Servers group and not the other servers

Yes that i correct I declined all 143 updates I decided they were not required
KB972493 was approved but my WSUS server does not show that it needs it but when I listed the fixes on that server KB972493 is not installed.
I will decline that update also and manually download it for the WSUS server only
I will create another Group for WSUS Server only for future issue like this.
I am using Group Policy so I will need to create a new GPO just for the WSUS server.
Thanks again for your help

FYI, a lot of those 143 updates are security updates
