  1. WSUS, MU and WU oh my! SMB Technology Network Susan Bradley, Patchaholic

  2. We’re going to assume • You’ve done your homework • http://www.vladville.com/2005/12/sbs-show-8-patch-management-with-susan.html • Think risk management

  3. WU and MU The basics of Windows and Microsoft Update

  4. WU versus MU • Windows Update • Just patches Windows • http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate • Microsoft update • http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate • Patches [at this time] • Windows • Office • Exchange • More to come • Engine is the same - Troubleshoot the same

  5. MU is optional • Opt in to MU

  6. MU steps • Accept EULA • Need to install software to get it to use it • Downloads activeX files • \Windows\Downloaded Program Files • The following ActiveX controls will be installed: • MUWebControl Class • WUWebControl Class

  7. Is it safe? • If first visit will get ‘authenticode’ prompt

  8. Checking for updates

  9. Two options to install • Express Install: This option is recommended and provides the easiest method for installing high priority updates. • Custom Install: This option enables a user to select which specific updates are installed.

  10. Better ‘history’ interface

  11. Revert to WU • Go back • Click on Change settings • Check the box

  12. Test connectivity • https://update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService • If you see this: • You are good to go

  13. File updated • Windows Genuine Advantage control • Windows Installer 3.1 • Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) update

  14. Auto updates options • Download • Will allow you to install them at a later time

  15. But don’t forget the help files

  16. Troubleshooting • SUS Support file • http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_SUS.EXE • Operating System and Service Pack Level • Right-click My Computer and select Properties • Internet Explorer Version and Service Pack Level • Check the Help > About interface in Internet Explorer

  17. Items to gather for troubleshooting • Internet Explorer Cipher Strength • Check the Help > About interface in Internet Explorer • Network Configuration (local area network [LAN], DSL, Firewall, Etc) • Tried using the Windows Update v6 Troubleshooter? • Has anything changed on the machine recently?

  18. In the SUS reporting tool • Windows Update logs (both Version 4 and Version 6) • ReportingEvents.log this shows what error was returned to our servers. • Internet Explorer Registry key data to help with proxy or access issues • Windows Update Registry key to help with policy and Automatic Updates issues • Service Output file to show what services are running on the machine and which are stopped.

  19. SUS reporting tool • Application and System event logs • BITS Admin log to help investigate download issues • Update.exe installation logs to help with installation failure issues • Setuplog to help investigate installation issues • Setupapi.log to help investigate driver installation issues

  20. Log files • Start, then click Run, type WINDOWSUPDATE.LOG and then click OK. • windows update.log • Is the v4 version • WindowsUpdate.log • Is the v6 version

  21. Common errors • 0x80072EE2 – 0x80072F78 – 0x80072F76 – 0x80072EFD • 836941 - You receive an "Error 0x80072EE2" or "Error 0x80072EFD" error message when you try to use Windows Update • Add Windows Update Web sites to the Trusted Sites list

  22. Common Errors • 0x80070424 • How to troubleshoot problems accessing secure Web pages with Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 2 (870700) • This Windows Update error code is caused by unregistered DLL files for Windows Update or Internet Explorer. On Windows XP SP2 and later this may be resolved using the “iexplore /rereg” command.

  23. Common Errors • 0x80244001/0x800A01AD • These Windows Update error codes can be caused by a damaged Windows XP XML subsystem. The first step to take is to reregister this component using the command “regsvr32 msxml3.dll”. If this does not resolve the issue, check for more recently updated MSXML Parser and MSXML components from the following link:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/results.aspx?productID=&freetext=msxml&DisplayLang=en

  24. Common Errors • When accessing the Update site, you receive the 0x800A01AE error. • This issue may happen if the current session of Internet Explorer has cached an older version of Wuapi.dll • Re-register the Windows Update DLL with the commands below • Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. • Type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.regsvr32 wuapi.dllregsvr32 wuaueng.dllregsvr32 wuaueng1.dllregsvr32 wucltui.dllregsvr32 wups.dllregsvr32 wups2.dllregsvr32 wuweb.dll

  25. Common Errors • 0x80248011 • This Windows Update error code is normally related to inconsistent or damaged information in the c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder. Stopping the Automatic Updates service then renaming the c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder to SDOLD then restarting the Automatic Updates service normally is the fix for this issue.Note: Renaming this folder will clear the display of previous successful and failed updates.

  26. Common Errors • 0x800B0001 • This Windows Update error code is related to 3 particular DLL files that are not registered in windows correctly. Registering the following files with REGSVR32 normally fixes this issue: • Softpub.dll • Mssip32.dll • Initpki.dll

  27. Common Errors • 0x8024402C • This Windows Update error can be caused by a damaged installation of BITS and corrupted information in the SoftwareDistribution folder. The solution is normally to re-download the BITS updates (KB883357 and KB842773) from the Microsoft.com website, then stop the Automatic Updates service and rename the SoftwareDistribution folder to SDOLD. Reboot the computer and return to Windows Update.

  28. Diagnose tools • Look at WindowsUpdate.log from the bottom up • To enable site tracing for a single visit to the Windows Update site, add “&dev=true” to the end of the URL, as in the example below:http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en&dev=true

  29. Troubleshooting • Most third party firewalls such as Norton Personal Firewall block SVCHOST (Generic Host Process Win32) communication by default. This can cause issues with Windows Update as SVCHOST communication is required by the Windows Update client to connect to the Windows Update Servers on the internet.

  30. WSUS basics Are you ready to patch?

  31. WSUS • Patches the same pieces as MU • More to come • Clients ‘check in’ with server • Not push • Pull • Can force a push if need be via scripting • http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=3BA03939-A5A9-407B-A4B0-1290BA5182F8&displaylang=en
