Failure on anti-spam filter updates

Exchange 2013 SP1

Server 2012 R2

WSUS updating

My last several attempts to apply anti-spam filter updates have failed with error code 80070643. I googled the error code but could not get a specific answer to exchange. There is NO installed Office product on the server.

How do I clear this error?

Hi John,

How about retrieve the content filter definitions on the Microsoft update website manually?

Since the anti-spam Automatic Updates functionality relies on the Microsoft Update service, this issue can be troubleshoot same with Microsoft Update issue.
Heres an similar thread about your question, for your reference: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/01426c92-725f-427e-981a-2a04727980c4/keep-getting-failure-configuring-windows-updates-revertng-changes

If the issue persists, please check in application event log and Windowsupdate.log.

Thanks

It appears to be in the .Net 3 or 4 arena. This is a server running exchange 2013. Can I un-install .Net and re-install and not cause a problem with exchange?

Hi,

Are you means .Net Framework 3.0 or 4.0 update failed? Do you correct the detailed error message from update file?

Please post relevant WindowsUpdate.log for further trouble shooting.

Thank you for the manual source. I set it up and applied the current filters. I still do not know why WSUS does not apply the update. IN the future, if it fails, I'll do a manual update to keep current.
