[SOLVED] [WinServer2012] Will Not Download or Install Updates

I started the process @ 9am CST and now at 2:25pm CST I see no movement....should I let it run?

powershell.jpg
 
I have terminated the PowerShell window, rebooted, installed the patch in Message #43 and rebooted.

Awaiting your next instruction.
 
I believe it is...I do have access to another one if I need to grab something from it.
 
Interesting, that if I execute the Powershell Command GET-WUHistory it looks like it may have downloaded other updates but not installed them???

Code: 
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-wuhistory

I implemented the steps in Post #50 this morning and left for the office.

10 hours later it is still Checking For Updates....
 
OK, at this point I do believe this is a bug in Windows Update specific to Windows Server 2012 as I now have three threads from three different users all having the same issue. I think you will need to contact Microsoft for a solution. I don't believe anything we do will help. The silver lining in all of this is now that Microsoft has gone to the cumulative update, you only need to install one update per month (at least for Windows). So worst case you may just want to download the one update each month so you are current and leave it at that. If you do end up contacting Microsoft I would love to know what they tell you.

I appreciate all of the time you've taken to assist me in trying to find a solution.

One last question, where do I go to download the cumulative updates? Can you point me in the right direction on the Microsoft site?
 
No problem. If you contact Microsoft it should be a free call since it's dealing with this issue. Each month (after the 2nd tuesday) I usually just do a search on the Microsoft Catalog. For example this month I would just search on the Microsoft Catalog for march 2017 monthly rollup and the update will come up to install.

If you want to read details of each new thing that is addressed in the cumulative update you can always go here and filter for Windows Server 2012.
 
Weird....I searched the catalog and pulled down the March 2017 Rollup and when I try to install it I receive an error message that KB4012217 is already installed on this computer.

Don't know how that could be.
 
Brian -

Sorry its it's taken me a bit to get back and report my findings.

After reviewing all of the steps we went through and the set of steps the engineers at Microsoft were likely to take me through, I opted to wipe and install 2012 and leave behind the upgrade of 2008 to 2012.

I was was fortunate that there were minimal apps deployed on the server and it took me less than an hour to reinstall after wiping and reloading. The server is now up to date and pulling updates as it should.

I cant ant begin yo say thank you for taking the time to try and find a solution. I wish I had a solution you could pass on to others - it was my fear that the ongoing repair would have left the box in a less than stable state to move forward.
