Clear_Client_of_“Failed”_Status Suidae 5/16/2007 8:27:01 PM I recently updated to WSUS V3 without too much grief. I have a client system that experienced an error will installing an update. Rebooted the system and tried the process again with the same error result. I finally installed the patch manually with no problem. My question is how do I clear the “Failed” status of the update. I tried renaming the WindowsUpdate.log and starting fresh but the system is still flagged as “Failed”

tus BigEd 5/17/2007 4:46:02 PM I had a similar problem I deleted the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder and rebooted. It cleared the failed flag the next time in checked in with the server.
