WARNING: Digital Signatures on file C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\SelfUpdate\Default\wuident.cab are not trusted: Error 0x800b0001
This is the error I had in my c:\windows\WindowsUpdate.log while I was trying to get my XP computer updated by the WSUS Server I just installed.
After many time spent trying to fix the error in many way I discovered the problem was simply my WSUS server an old version while the XP machine was serching for a most recent WSUS.
So the solution was simply:
1. install WSUS 3.0 SP2 Over the previous WSUS 3.0 installation
2. install the WSUS patch: KB2720211
2. reboot the server
once the server was up and running:
3. on the client run this script (found in internet) :
net stop wuauserv /y
net stop bits /y
net stop cryptsvc /y
RMDIR /S /Q %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution_Old
ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution_Old
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll /s
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wups.dll /s
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuaueng.dll /s
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wucltui.dll /s
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\msxml3.dll /s
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuaueng1.dll /s
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wups2.dll /s
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\wuweb.dll /s
regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\atl.dll /s
net start wuauserv /y
net start bits /y
net start cryptsvc /y
wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization
wuauclt.exe /detectnow
wuauclt.exe /reportnow
And after few minutes I seen my client asking me to install new updates, and on the WSUS server the pc appeared with its status. Problem solved :)
Thank you Digger! Your solution helped me. However, I didn't need to perform any operations on client computers.
RispondiEliminaGlad to know :)
EliminaYes thank you, about 12 clients win7 not reporting here
RispondiEliminaKB2720211 solved everything, and also no need for the script
Good!
EliminaBattling with 2012 R2 for two days - your commands in point 3 above have me up and running! KB2720211 was installed long ago but 2012 just could not talk to WSUS.
RispondiEliminaTry KB2734608 instead.
