What you need to know about KB3148812, Part Two

發行項
04/22/2016

Here are the facts:

KB3148812 requires some manual steps to complete its installation
Failure to perform these steps leads to two issues: loss of WSUS console and client scans against WSUS
Performing these steps (as listed today) fully resolves the WSUS console issue
There is a chance that you will see client scan failures even after performing the steps

This update contains critical functionality that needs to be in place before the Anniversary Update, but it does not need to be installed this week (e.g., there is no security fix that patches a known vulnerability). Therefore, here are our recommendations:

Until further notice, if you have not already installed this update, do not install KB3148812.
If you have installed it and not yet performed the "wsusutil postinstall" step, then uninstall KB3148812. If you're still seeing issues, then please Email Blog Author.
If you have installed it and have already performed the manual steps recommended in a previous post, then please Email Blog Author so that we can work directly with you.

UPDATE 5/5

The official repair for this issue (KB3159706) has been released. A new blog post covers the details of this update.

I've already ran the "wsusutil postinstall" step - this did enable the Console UI to function - albeit it had deleted some views and reset all their settings/columns.
I have subsequently installed the WCF Http activation and rebooted twice - but this has failed to allow the clients to reconnect - they're all receiving a Code 80244007 Error. There's nothing obvious showing up in the event log on the clients or WSUS. The WSUS server hasn't synchronised since the install yet.

for the record, deleting the "softwaredistribution" folder on the clients will resolve the code 80244007 Error... however, it is not realistic to expect us to manually delete that folder on every single client.....

Good one, Argh. I can't speak for the rest of Microsoft, but I agree that this experience highlighted a gap in our WSUS testing, one which I intend to fill before our next release. If you'd like to be a part of the external group that ensures we've got realistic coverage, then feel free to Email Blog Author so that we can make those connections.

KB3148812 is being pulled later today to minimize further impact.

@Steve: I feel like I'm already being a beta-tester for MS, getting much worse lately. Extremely useless KB articles, missing KB articles when hotfixes are released and many days after, articles missing known issues with the hotfix (such as this WSUS one), serious bugs in the patches over and over again.

Hotfix descriptions in WSUS are completely useless, I'm forced to click one link after another to find out what's the patch about, and even then, the KB descriptions are often very lacking, recently there's even been a KB article with no description whatsoever. Patches released many many many times every months, any scheduling/maintenance windows completely lost. Add to that that incessant, disgusting push of those infamous "compatibility" and "telemetry" hotfixes for W7/8.1 which are basically nothing but W10 spam.

Overall, not a happy camper. :-(

I'm getting 0x80244019 after installing and performing the steps in your (now pulled) blog entry. Any help would be appreciated.

April 22, 2016
Also got the 0x80244019 error.
Had to uninstall WSUS; drop the SUSDB database, reinstall WSUS and reconfigure it to get it back working (since I had already ran the update command, there was no other way than dropping the database).

I can see now, that the KB3148812 has been expired in WSUS, which I'm happy to see.

I'm a bit affraid that the 0x80244019 error isn't being addressed, and we will be back with a broken setup when the patch is released again, since it seems like very few people are being hit by that one.

  GurliGebis, did you get this fixed yet? I was getting the exact same errors as you in the update log. I realized that I had followed the manual instruction of editing the Web.config file. I mistakenly REPLACED the lines in the config file instead of ADDING what's bolded.

While we've got your attention:
1. The KB article itself still has no notation that extra steps are required or that the update has been pulled.
2. Can we please get better descriptions for the actual updates? It is so frustrating to get that email notification that WSUS has synchronized a couple hundred new updates and all of them have the same description "Install this update to resolve issues in Windows." All that means is I have to open all of the KB articles one by one to find out what they are.

Argh: We appreciate the feedback. We can only control your WSUS updating experience, and we're committed to improving that going forward. I'll look into providing KB descriptions in the WSUS pane itself--typically, the assumption was that everyone clicks the KB link, so it's nice to hear otherwise.

Pepper: The request to pull the KB is being processed; agreed that it's a confusing situation. We didn't publish the manual steps to the KB because those were getting folks into a situation where the update couldn't be rolled back, and we wanted to minimize that scenario.

Mark B: Thanks for the support. =]

As you might have seen from the update to the blog post, we have a [server-side] fix that restores client scanning capability. Much to my chagrin, it was not as simply resolved as I'd expected. We'll have to ship another update to address this, for which we'll share timelines next week. If you can't wait for the official update, then feel free to Email Blog Author so that we can get you operational in the interim.

Thanks to everyone that's reached out so far. This was an unpleasant outcome, and much of the community was willing to provide logs, traces, and other information that's really above and beyond. We can and will get better at doing it right the first time, and we appreciate your help with restoring order in this chaotic situation.

Oh, and one more thing, while discussing how unhappy people are with hotfixes documentation and distribution. Just yesterday, I saw this:http://www.askwoody.com/2016/future-windows-patches-only-available-in-the-update-catalog/

Instead of providing links to hotfix downloads, you are pointing people to a badly buggy, unmaintained IE-only (!!!) site relying on ActiveX, with broken HTTPS. Really, this is the way to go now? You should know better.

Second time in a couple month that an WSUS update break himself, it’s really not reassuring to see the team responsible of maintaining the update tool is not able to update correctly they own tool.
If the patch need post installation step, it SHOULD never be deployed this way. Make it like SharePoint, the KB installing binaries in a temporary folder, and when you lunch the console you have a message explaining what to do next, why, how and when you should do it.

From now on we will not patch WSUS server automatically anymore and rely on this blog to see if we need to install something

It's still bad that this whole episode has been handled as "you shouldn't have installed this so quickly - there was manual steps you know!".

Almost feels like us users are being blamed for our prompt attention in patching cycles.

Additional example to point D:-

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2990214
Update that enables you to upgrade from Windows 7 to a later version of Windows
This article describes an update that enables you to upgrade your computer from Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to a later version of Windows.

then later on it says "Note: This update for Windows Server 2008 R2 does not support you to upgrade to a later version of Windows"
So why not filter it in WSUS from applying to Server 2008 R2 servers!

Dead in the water right now with SCCM SCUP/WSUS. Uninstalled KB3148812 and still cannot connect SCUP to WSUS. Two reboots completed.

TestConnection: Failed to connect to the update server using the configuration data provided. [System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.].

Very frustrating dealing with these issues, trying to troubleshoot everything to figure out why my WSUS server is broken and i'm unable to update my clients and came to this. My WSUS server is currently down so getting a fix ASAP would be appreciated. At this point if I can be sent the proposed fix i'd be more than happy to beta test. I attempted to uninstall KB 3148812 but now I'm unable to connect to my console. I get an error saying I need to patch my WSUS server to at least the version of the database.

  I fully understand what you are saying and the rollup model can make sense. What I am saying is that we see hundreds of updates in WSUS that are rollups, or just "security fixes" and the only way to see anything about them is to click on the link to open a browser. If we are lucky, there might be some information on a fix that actually has some information. Then add to this mix, something like the WSUS update, where there is a manual step needed. How would you actually expect admins to know this (this is new in the history of all updates to me)? So what happens now if all departments start adding in manual steps to the updates (say an outlook update). That means you expect us to go through the hundreds of KB aticles before we actually approve them. This is counter to the update rollup method that seems to be coming up. I am not going after anyone, just trying to make a point, and make you see what the end user sees. I see from this blog that all us MS people are starting to get frustrated. Something that has been working smoothly for years is starting to fall apart.

    I looked into this after some previous comments on the topic. That section is the same text that a client will see when it views the update in Windows Update, and it needs to be localized into all the applicable languages. Custom text adds more localization cost or introduces errors in the communication for certain languages, and we weren't seeing heavy usage of these descriptions, so the publishing team opted to go boilerplate for all this text.However, I've shared the enterprise pain around this model with them, and there is room for modification in the future. It won't happen tomorrow, but I'm hoping we can work toward a more informative reality for businesses that doesn't require clicking through to a KB. We appreciate the feedback, and I'm happy to champion the cause.

Andy: Quite the opposite--I'm lamenting the fact that the early adopters, those enthusiasts who trusted the updates from the WSUS team inherently, are the ones in pain here. The saving grace is that it's a smart community that can fix issues quickly. Had this happened on a consumer level, we'd be in a very different world right now. The missing documentation was an oversight that we couldn't even pretend is your fault, and it won't happen again. Arranging a prompt patching cycle is a two-way street, and we know we have to do our part to make that happen.

technonath: I'm flattered that you think the WSUS team controls all these things! I'll pass along the feedback, but unless it deals directly with WSUS release documentation, quality, or deployment experience, I can't guarantee any specific result. As for the filter question, we actually looked into that, and it was unfortunately too expensive from an engineering perspective to implement safely.

agressiv: Windows 10 showcases the new cumulative model that hopefully addresses many of your concerns. It'll take a while for the other platforms (which have done things differently for a very long time) to catch up, if they're going to.

mlamczyk: Thanks for reporting your success on this thread. We've been able to get your environment, along with many others, running smoothly again until the official fix can provide long-term relief, and that's really the whole point of this post.

gustke: Email Blog Author, and all your deployment questions will be answered. =]

Post install is starting
Fatal Error: The schema version of the database is from a newer version of WSUS
than currently installed. You must either patch your WSUS server to at least
that version or drop the database.

rjwb: I had exactly the same issue on my server. I'm swapping emails with Steve at the moment to test the hotfix; we haven't sorted it out yet, but I'm optimistic. I recommend contacting him (via the "Email the blog author" link in the top-right corner of this page) so that you can get hold of the new file. The only other option I can see is to start from scratch, i.e. uninstall WSUS and delete the database, then re-install WSUS and create a new database.

My fear is this mandatory update for WSUS that is required for Windows 10 clients is going to further force domain users to update Windows 10 Clients without being able to stop the updates! Even Apple doesn't require you to install the next update, you just don't get any support until you do, they let you wait as long as you want!!! I sure hope that I am wrong about this, my WSUS is still on Server 2008r2 so this update hasn't been suggested to me, but I was getting ready to start shifting to server 2012 for that server, I'm glad I haven't yet!!

First of all, thanks to those that have posted their success stories in the comments section. I think it's helpful to have a balance of active issues and positive results, so that the outlook doesn't appear too bleak. For those that haven't contacted us (and who desperately need to), Email Blog Author awaits you. With that said, if you can comfortably wait a week or two for official relief, then you're welcome to do that.

JDA: We aim to have this patched before your next Patch Tuesday in May. More specifics are planned for later this week.

Argh: If the cumulative model catches on, and the technology supports it, then I could see it being used even in down-level servicing. Good to know that we're moving in the right direction with the Win10 documentation. As you point out, the fact is that WSUS serves content from all first-party providers, including Office. If their product teams are not providing adequate transparency, then I encourage you to talk to them about it. We can improve the Windows side of things, and specifically the WSUS update content and descriptions, and will be happy to work with the community on doing so.

Argh Part the Second: Windows 10 will use Windows Update for all its needs. As you point out, Catalog has a very limited scope, mostly confined to the manual WSUS Import function, and even that could be rendered unnecessary, depending on how we choose to service going forward. I'd echo your design principle of "break dependencies first," and I would guess that a different approach was taken for Catalog specifically because it is used so rarely these days.

rjwb: Unfortunately, there is no amount of forum conversation that will restore operation because you need a small patch to your WSUS server. Well, I suppose you could uninstall the KB and restore your SUSDB from backup; if you would rather not do that, then Email Blog Author, and we'll get you set up.

RaymondKn: If control is what matters most to you, then WSUS will continue to provide that going forward. Our support model for Windows is changing, but you are still completely able to hold off approving updates in your environment. Just be aware that doing so could leave you in an insecure state. Feel free to reach out to us if you've got other concerns around migrating to a newer WSUS. We'll likely be starting a separate dialogue on the topic of migration in a couple months. At this point, I'd recommend waiting for Windows Server 2016, and then making your move.

If there are post install steps, then it should not be part of an automatic update. Many admins don't go through each of the KB articles looking for post install steps (a new concept that seems to only apply to WSUS). In fact, MS seems to discourage looking at KB articles, as we have to open each one up manually only to find that they say it's a rollup of changes with no detail. This seems to be a step backwards for MS. And we are mostly here, as we are MS people.

  The only reason this one is shipped via Windows Update is that WSUS might be managing itself, and therefore unable to consume the fix. We considered Catalog as the only alternative, but from the discussion about how it is IE only, which some folks may not have installed, it seemed more convenient to have this be available through Windows Update itself. As for looking at documentation before deploying fixes, I think we're trending toward less coverage on cumulative content, but isolated updates should (in my mind) be accompanied by at least a basic description of what's inside, especially when the contents are somehow special or require additional effort to deploy. Unfortunately, those that don't read KBs will have a rough time with the next update, but that would be true even if we'd only shipped to the WSUS channel.Assuming WSUS is managing itself, it requires manual effort to scan Windows Update instead of WSUS in order to get the update, so I'm expecting only those that read this blog will go that route.

  If you never intend to deploy the Anniversary Update via WSUS, then this is fine. Otherwise, you'll want to go through the steps to get KB3159706 working.

    So it was only after I made my first post did I see Jason Plows post suggesting to remove KB3159706! Having completed that, now WSUS console appears to be working and I am not throwing the errors related to NY Authority failing to connect to the SUSDB! That much is great! BUT.... Now I have the question that I am sure many users have for Steve Henry: How do I get my WSUS installation such that it WILL be able to handle Windows 10 Anniversary and other encrypted updates etc??? We do have an ever growing base of Window 10 installs and I want all of our environment to be serviced by WSUS seamlessly!! What is the deal and how do I get WSUS capable of servicing the entire MS install base? Isn't that what it was for in the first place??

      The answer is to install KB3159706, or deploy Windows Server 2016. One of these is required in order to consume future feature updates, starting with the Anniversary Update. If you have issues when installing this KB, then please post on our WSUS forum to get it resolved.

Really? Another WSUS update that breaks WSUS on W2K12R2? Really? (I'm referring to KB 3159706 of course.) Pushing out updates that break WSUS is really bad form, come on guys, knock it off. Three major WSUS/Windows Update problems in just a couple of weeks is bad.

I have been seeing errors trying to connect to the WSUS console and have been searching forums etc with the error message that I receive. Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database 'SUSDB'.The part that has me steamed is that to the best of my knowledge I do not have KB3148812 installed! I DO have KB3159706 installed, but still cannot open my WSUS console! Any input or guidance from this dark place in which I find myself and back to the light would be greatly appreciated!

  Please read https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/wsus/2016/05/05/the-long-term-fix-for-kb3148812-issues/ and install the KB mentioned there, and then follow the manual steps to finalize that installation. KB3148812 is no longer needed on any system.
