W2012 Server, updates failing to load or update

A

Albert M Gostick

Hi all,

A client of mine asked me to look at a domain controller that is not updating properly. I found out that the updates have not been applied since mid 2015. When I run the updater manually, it comes back with error 0x8007000e. Looking in the Windows update log, I see this (I will highlight a couple entries that I think are important but don't let that sway you, I really don't know if they are the root problem or not):

Secondly, looking in the event log, it appears that the system is running out of paging room. Maybe because there are now so many updates to download (or catalog)?

Here is the error in the event log:

Error ID: 2004, Microsoft-Windows-Resource-Exhaustion-Detector

Windows successfully diagnosed a low virtual memory condition. The following programs consumed the most virtual memory: svchost.exe (916) consumed 1815674880 bytes, firefox.exe (1896) consumed 284778496 bytes, and svchost.exe (1508) consumed 134553600 bytes.

Looking at the details, here is what it gives for mem info:

- <SystemInfo>
<SystemCommitLimit>4294430720</SystemCommitLimit>
<SystemCommitCharge>4030889984</SystemCommitCharge>

<PhysicalMemoryUsage>4208680960</PhysicalMemoryUsage>
<NonPagedPoolUsage>76775424</NonPagedPoolUsage>
<Processes>47</Processes>
</SystemInfo>

Looking on this server (virtual), there is no paging file used - I am pretty sure their IT guy though said he does not use page files on his virtual servers (cannot get him right now to confirm why).

I have also run these processes (based on a couple of articles):

DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /Restorehealth

And it completed with "The restore operation completed successfully. The component store corruption was repaired"

I then ran the following (also suggested in an article):

sfc /scannow

That did not seem to do anything. After every step, I ran the updater again with the same error code being thrown. Note that I was not able to reboot the server after the above as it is their primary domain controller - but the above did not seem to indicate that I needed to do so.

I have mostly run out of ideas but here are a couple:- should I get their sys admin to specify a pagefile size?

- since there are SO many updates to download, is there a tool or a way to bring down a few at a time instead of having the auto updater try to figure out the whole batch?

Thanks,

Albert
