RE: Windows update failing

August 21, 2007

I am getting a similar error with a window 2003 x64 server.

I have upgraded my WSUS server to version 3.0.6000.374.

I was able to update the systems using the WSUS 3.0 server several times.

Now, on my x64 client systems I am getting the error:

EEHndlr WARNING: Failed to populate ServiceStartup entries in Cache: error

0x80070002

in the clients %SystemRoot%\WindowsUpdate.log.

I try to force updates using wuauclt.exe /detectnow and /resetauthorization

The WSUS server knows about the client and knows that it needs updates, but

I the clients are always getting the 0x80070002.

I have tried reinstalling the windows update program on the clients.

I have tried removing the %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\SoftwareDistribution

\DataStor directory.

I have tried removing the %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStor

directory.

I have looked that the registry entries.

I have tried:

http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/showarticle.aspx?articleid=30&ln=en

I have searched the MSDN site.

Any body have a idea?

I see that this error occurs over and over again. Whats up with that?

My systems are dead in water. I need to get this to work.
