I am running Server 2008 SP2x64 with IE9.
When I Check for updates managed by system administrator MU reports server is up to date .
When I check for updates from MU I get 5 important updates and 2 optional updates.
Important updates are:
1 Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Server 2008x64 Edition (KB2761451)
2. Security Update for Microsoft.NET Framwork 2.0 SP2 on Windows vista SP2 and Windows Serever 2008 SP2 for x64(KB2729453)
3.Security Update for Windows Server 2008x64 Edition(KB2727528)
4.Security Update for Windows Server 2008x64 Edition(KB2761226)
5.Update for Windows Server 2008x64 Edition(KB2756822)
However the 5 important updates always fail install with error 8000FFFF.
The 2 Optionalupdates are:
1. Windows Live Essentials 2011(KB2434419)
2.Update for Windows Serverx64 Edition (KB972145)
I checked REGEDIT COMPONENTS and there were no:
PendingXmlIdentifier
NextQueueEntryIndex
AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
In the COMPONENTS Pane
I have renemed WindowsUpdate File and still get failed install error 8000FFFF
I tried downloading each update separately and manual install.
I have turned off services and that did not work.
Below is update log for one of the failed updates.
Please note these important updates are all for Server 2008 x64 and I am running Server 2008 SP2 x64. COuld it be they do not apply to SP2 but still show uo as Important pdates?
