Problem with Windows Update
in [Windows Servers]
|
From: BGCSOCAL on 16 Mar 2010 12:15 I have a Windows 2008 Server Standard Edition X64 SP2 with all the updates up to this week. this week it started failing on the update for KB967723. The error code is 80070003. The KB search finds nothing on this. the hyperlink on the event log entry tells me to check my spelling(?). anyone had this problem too? I tried shutting down the server to clear any problems it might have had in memory, but this did not help. the server is set for automatic update so I also re-downloaded the update manually and the installation still failed. What should I try next? IF I don't reply immediately it is becuase I am not getting my reply notifications, but I will be checking periodically? Thanks -- Bettie

From: Peter Foldes on 16 Mar 2010 18:52 0x80070003 = COR_E_DIRECTORYNOTFOUND The specified path couldn't be found - ALLUSERSPROFILE Microsoft network dir doesn't exist Make sure the following folders exist under %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\ Note: (%windir% = C:\Windows) DataStore\ Download\ EventCache\ SelfUpdate\ WebSetup\ WuRedir\ If the above doesn't assist, suggestion by Torgeir Bakken (MVP) If the directory "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network" does not exist, you will get this error. %ALLUSERSPROFILE% is normally "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users" To verify existence/create this folder, you can do like this: Press Start/Run, and fill in this: "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft" Press OK, and the Microsoft folder will open. If no Network folder is found there, create it (File\New --> Folder). -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

From: BGCSOCAL on 18 Mar 2010 13:04 Thanks to both of you. I tried Meinolf's suggestion first becuase it looked to be the easiest. I t worked! Should I expect this error in the future on any W2008 servers I build? this is the first one I've created. Again, thanks to both of you. -- Bettie "BGCSOCAL" wrote: > I have a Windows 2008 Server Standard Edition X64 SP2 with all the updates up > to this week. this week it started failing on the update for KB967723.

From: Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS] on 18 Mar 2010 13:22 Hello BGCSOCAL, This happened also with WIndows 2000 or the other OS versions. Sometimes the update service doesn't work correct or some old stuff in the softwaredistribution folder prevents additional ones. It can happen again, then this way is always the first i try and 99% it helps.
