Get-Windowsupdatelog

[WiM8]

Hi,

Get-windowsupdatelog is driving me crazy!!

I want to troubleshoot a problem with Windows Updates on a 2016 server but I'm unable to get the Windowsupdate.log built...

First of all:

We don't have any server 2016 with access to the internet (or Microsoft Symbol server), so the only solution is to create a manifest file and copy it to an online machine to download the correct symbol files. I've tried this without success. I've followed https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/symbols-windows-update

I've installed the Windows Debug kit on my online machine to download the symbol files via symchk, without success. I alway get following output:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64>symchk /im c:\temp\manifest.txt /s SRV*c:\temp\symbols\*Symbol information
SYMCHK: storewuauth.dll ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2
SYMCHK: wuapi.dll ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2
SYMCHK: wuauclt.exe ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2
SYMCHK: wuaueng.dll ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2
SYMCHK: wuautoappupdate.dll ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2
SYMCHK: wuuhext.dll ERROR - Unable to download file. Error reported was 2

SYMCHK: FAILED files = 6
SYMCHK: PASSED + IGNORED files = 0

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

WiM
