"Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes" - Post-reboot status 0x800f0922

J

J Cervero

Server 2012 [6.2.9200] Standard Core

VMWare VM running in BIOS mode (*not* UEFI)

It is a production Read-Only Domain Controller. DC functionality is currently unaffected. Replication and diag all show 'green'

We have an internal WSUS server and there are currently 8 pending updates:

Security Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB2853587)
Security Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB2923392)
Security Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB2973501)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 x64 (KB2978042)
Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 on Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 x64 (KB2979577)
Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB2995387)
Security Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB3000061)
Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB3000988)

Regardless of whether I install them all at once or go through them one by one, upon reboot, I get the error message ""Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes". This box has previously had updates applied successfully however the last successful update was prior to installing the ADDS role and promoting it to a RODC.

I have taken the following steps based on research without success:

  • Restarted the box - try again
  • Complete shutdown - try again
  • verified with my VMWare admins that there is no 'Secure Boot' or similar option set on the VM
  • Shutdown wuauserv, renamed SoftwareDistribution, started the service back up, reattempt
  • installed, but did not enable/configure, BitLocker Drive Encryption feature
  • sfc /scannow - no errors found
  • dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth and /scanhealth - neither found any issues
  • verified that the 'System Reserved Partition' is the correct size (350MB) and has free space (115MB)
  • deactivated the OS license, reactivated the OS license - no change
  • Pointed to the MS Windows Update servers instead of local WSUS


I have a little flexibility in how I repair this box. Given that DC functionality is unaffected and that this specific DC is not used heavily I want to try to repair it rather than wipe it out and rebuild it. I have not yet attempted to run updates on our other, non-Read-Only DCs. If I run in to the same problem on them, I won't have as much leeway so I want to try to come up with a repair process if needed. I also have some concern regarding my ability to demote it from it's DC role given its current state. There is nothing to indicate that that would also be a problem, but I would prefer to get it in working order before attempting a demotion.

Any help and insight would be greatly appreciated.
