WSUS and Vista
A while ago I blogged about some fun from being an early adopter. The issue that caused it was that Vista wouldn’t update—funny enough, the new stuff didn’t help at all. What was happening was that I kept getting an error while not connected to the work network, because my machine was set to get updates from the company WSUS server. While on the network, I got a different error—8007000b if I remember correctly.
For love or money, I couldn’t fix it, until I stumbled upon the fact that WSUS 3.0 had been released. Upgrading the company WSUS server to that fixed the problem. It turns out we were using an RTM of 2.0, and Vista support was only added in 2.0 SP1. Regardless, 3.0 is really worth the upgrade.
The only problem is that now I’m getting new patches almost every day until I catch up with all of them.
