update KB971029 on Windows 2008 SP2 Core keeps reapplying


hi,

all pcs , servers patched fine (up last months bulletin) except 2 windows 2008 standard server core servers.

no errors reported after applying update on shutdown later re-downloads patch.

if apply patch (.msu) manually says not apply though ms kb says apply server core. though explorer not in server core reg keys related autoplay exist.

i've run chkdsk on server, stopped wuauserv , deleted softwaredistribution folder , run system update readiness tool reported no errors.

i error message "warning: loadlibrary failed srclient.dll hr:8007007e" in windowsupdate.log - error code apparently means module not found.

is due server core not having component necessary (windows explorer) patch install? in case why being detected , how can revoke patch these 2 servers?

thanks in advance

nick

hi,

thanks i've checked permissions on root drive c shown below builtin\users having correct access.

c:\>icacls c:\
c:\ nt authority\system:(oi)(ci)(f)
    builtin\administrators:(oi)(ci)(f)
    builtin\users:(oi)(ci)(rx)
    builtin\users:(ci)(ad)
    builtin\users:(ci)(io)(wd)
    creator owner:(oi)(ci)(io)(f)

the cbs.log cryptic found line:

2011-02-25 11:46:28, info                  cbs    plan: skipping package since start state , target state both absent package: package_for_kb971029_winpe~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.0.1.2, current: 0, pending: -16, start: 0, applicable: 0, targeted: 0, limit: 7

i decided run patch manually again gave message 'the update not apply system'.

as far can see detection logic flawed update should not apply 2008 core due there being no explorer or autoplay function.

for reason declining update on wsus server stops pushing out these 2 servers. can see no other way of resolving issue.

thanks assistance way.

regards

nick
