Good morning,

I am in the product testing phase and I am encountering a problem with WSUS updates
Server: CentOS 7, Wapt 1.8.2 Enterprise
Client and admin console: Windows 10 2004

The server successfully retrieves the CAB file from Microsoft, and the clients also retrieve it locally
But when I run an update search on the client, here is the result of the task

Code: Select all

Start Windows Updates Scan and download

Ensure wuauserv Auto Update option is disabled
Download all updates

Looking for updates with filter: Type='Software' or Type='Driver'

   Connecting to local update searcher using offline wsusscn2 file...
   Offline Update searcher ready...

Hello jptw,

indeed there is a regression in the Windows Update library in Windows 10 2004. We opened a ticket with Microsoft, and they acknowledged the regression and gave it high priority. They told us it should be patched in August (I imagine for Patch Tuesday). It took a few weeks and several email exchanges with Microsoft, and yesterday we received confirmation that they were classifying it as a critical bug (it must impact quite a few other tools that are alternatives to WSUS).

Have you already started deploying Windows 10 2004? Is it possible to wait until next month? Microsoft showed us a workaround, but it would require pushing back a version of the waptwua client to the workstations. See you

soon,

Denis

For now, I'm just testing it in the lab, so yes, it can wait. I'll just have to see about extending the trial license.

Thanks.

For the WAPT WUA part, you can test with Win10 1909 or earlier, it works well.

Microsoft actually introduced a bug in version 2004 when calling the Windows Update API from an interpreted language (Python, VBScript, etc.). But it works if called from a compiled language... It must be a pretty obscure bug!
