Hello everyone,
a little background: my WAPT server is offline, running on a Windows Server 2022 Enterprise version 2.6.1.17472, and I perform Windows updates by importing the wsusscn2.cab file that I download from the internet.
This month, I encountered a problem importing Windows updates (a minor internal network issue).
For the workstations that were connected at the time, there was no problem; they were able to update their wsusscn2.cab file and install the relevant updates.
The next day, I wanted to reset the WAPTWUA configuration, and I think that's where I did something I shouldn't have.
In my mind, to start from a "clean" base, I deleted everything in the \wapt\repository\waptwua directory.
I think my mistake stems from this because now my machines are a bit of a mess...
Those that successfully installed the update on the first try have the December updates, but for the others, the update doesn't appear in the "Windows Update on the console" tab.
Furthermore, in this tab, when I look at the date of the WSUS index file, I see December 10th for those who have the December updates, and for the others (those for whom I don't see the December updates), I see December 11th (the day I deleted everything and then re-imported wsusscn2.cab).
So, I wanted to ask you how to perform a clean and complete wipe of the WAPTWUA partition so that my machines get back to normal?
The other side effect I see from this blunder is that the WUA status of all my posts in the console remains in "NEED-SCAN".
Sorry for the wall of text, and thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Hi Julien,
do you have peercache enabled on the machines? We tried to reproduce the problem, especially the timestamp issue with the file, and we think there's a scenario where the wsusscn2.cab file has the timestamp of the .part file being downloaded, which is passed to the peer downloading via peercache, rather than the timestamp of the file that was ultimately downloaded.
Regards,
Denis
