Hallo brolek,

 

what kind of server is that machine ? Member or dc server ? Did you try to run SP4 again, this should fix the update prob also.

W2k-memberserver mit isa2k

 

Die idee mit sp4 war leider zweckfrei – geht immer noch nicht

Geht es hier um einen WSUS-Client oder um einen WindowsUpdate/MicrosoftUpdate-Client?

 

Google bitte mal nach: "WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe" und probiere dann ein

 

"WindowsUpdateAgent20-x86.exe /wuforce /quiet /norestart"

 

Dies sollte den WindowsUpdate-Agent wieder ins System prügeln. Hat bei mir immer funktioniert.
