Still having an odd problem.Some of the Approved updates are properly installing on all affected clients (for example, the March Malicious Software Removal tool). Other updates also approved however don't update to any client. I've declined and then re-approved these updates multiple times to no avail.Here's one client's WindowsUpdate.log (note bolded section).Help please.2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 14a0 AU Triggering AU detection through DetectNow API2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 14a0 AU Triggering Online detection (non-interactive)2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 d1c AU #############2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 d1c AU ## START ## AU: Search for updates2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 d1c AU #########2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 d1c AU <<## SUBMITTED ## AU: Search for updates [CallId = {07C9F74A-2E79-4ECF-836C-33105E566BC1}]2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 5e4 Agent *************2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 5e4 Agent ** START ** Agent: Finding updates [CallerId = AutomaticUpdates]2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 5e4 Agent *********2009-03-14 15:15:32:598 352 5e4 Agent * Online = Yes;

Hi,Please try the following steps on the problematic client: 1. Stop the Automatic Updates service and BITS service. net stop wuauserv net stop bits 2. Delete %windir%\softwaredistribution directory. 3. Start the Automatic Updates service and BITS service. When these two services have been started, they will auto-create softwaredistribution and its subfolder at system directory. net start wuauserv net start bits 4. Stop the Cryptographic Services 5. Rename the C:\windows\System32\catroot2 folder 6. After the %windir%\softwaredistribution directory has been generated, please let the client contact the WSUS server immediately. wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow 7. After 15 minutes, please check the client to confirm whether it detects needed updates. If the problem still exists, please check %windir%\windowsupdate.log and post the error message in this thread

First off, it's EVERY client that is doing this.Performed all of the steps outlined, still have no updates applied.

HI Gary,Run the following command on the client:regsvr32 softpub.dllregsvr32 initpki.dllregsvr32 mssip32.dllRestart the system, then run "wuauclt /detectnow"

I've tried this fix on three different clients, all with similar results. I'm still getting the "unable to evaluate installable rule" error has disappeared, it has been replaced with a new error (Warning: Setup callback ReportProgress failed: 0x8007000d).

Hi Gary,Could you provide which updates cannot be deployed to the client?Maybe they are not applicalbe for these clients.

The updates are definitely necessary. Interestingly, these are all recently approved updates (within the past two months). I've even gone back, declined them, and then re-approved them to no avail.They includeCumulative security update for IE7 (KB961260)SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 3 (KB955706)Security update for Windows 2000 (KB958690) - yes we still have one Server 2000Security update for Windows 2000 (KB960225)Security update for Windows Server 2003 (KB958690)Security update for Windows Server 2003 (KB960225)Security update for Windows XP (KB958690)Security update for Windows XP (KB960225)Update for Root CertificatesUpdate for Windows 2000 (KB967715)Update for Windows Server 2003 (KB967715)Update for Windows XP (KB959772)Update for Windows XP (KB967715)Update Rollup for ActiveX Killbits for Windows 2000 (KB960715)Update Rollup for ActiveX Killbits for Windows XP (KB960715)

Hi Gary, For troubleshooting issues with the Automatic update client, I have attached a tool that can be run on the client machine AUClient_Tool can assist by automatically fixing many issues related to AU client detection and installation. Usage: 1) Launch the AU Client Reset tool by double clicking it 2) Follow the onscreen prompts for details on what is happening 3) Once the tool completes please restart the computer and test. You can download the information files from the following link.
