Windows Server 2016 - WU components

Hi,

We have issues related to OS-patching of Windows 2016 server. We know that the problem is not at all related to BigFix but to the Windows Update Engine in some way.

To resolve the issue, we have a Fixlet that performs a “Reset” of the WU-components on Windows 2016 servers before the patching. This works, the patching is executed without any problems - we are more wondering if there might be side-effects by doing this every month.

Do anyone know a method to detect issues with the Windows Update components, so that possible issues can be identified?

Anyone else have similar issues with W2016 servers and what is your take on it?

Regards,
Stefan

What are the errors you get?
What exit codes do you see?
Where do the fixlets fail?
What does your ‘reset’ fixlet do exactly, to reset WU?
