troubleshoot particular update failing JBeckett [MCSA] 6/7/2007 9:50:00 PM Is there some type of debug mode in XP to troubleshoot why a particular update is failing? The event log isn't very telling. I haven't been able to see any of the failure codes as described in the Operations Guide. I'm running WSUS 3.

Re: troubleshoot particular update failing "Matthew Wetmore \(MSFT\)" <mattwe[ at ]online.microsoft.com> 6/8/2007 4:44:14 PM One quick and somewhat useful place to start is to generate a detailed report in the WSUS UI of all machines that failed for the particular update, then look at the events reported to the WSUS server. That may save you a trip to the machine. In the WSUS UI: At the Update Services node, click the failed line in the pie chart for the server you're interested. You'll see all failed updates on that server. Double click the failed update in the list view. You'll get the report. Scroll through the machines, and click the underlined "Failed" next to a computer in the report, and you'll probably see more information. -- Matthew Wetmore Developer, WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) This posting is provided "As Is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
