I'm testing the Windows Update Service in place of the Cisco checks for
Windows patches. I created a new requirement for this (using the Microsoft
update servers, and the Updates to be installed set to Critical.
Enforce Type: Mandatory
Priority: 3
Remediation Type: Manual, Interval 0, Retry Count 0
Windows Updates Validation by Severity
Windows Updates to be Installed: Critical
(Not checked) Upgrade to Latest OS Service Pack
Windows Update Installation Sources: Microsoft Servers
Installation Wizard Interface: Show UI
Requirement Name: Windows Update Services
Description:Critical Windows Updates are missing from your
computer. Click on the Update button to launch Windows
Update.
Operating System: Windows XP (ALL), Windows Vista (All)
Most users appear to be passing the check successfully. However, several
are not, and when I look at their report, it shows the following:
3. Windows Update Services (Mandatory)
* Passed Checks:
* Failed Checks:
* Not executed Checks:
* Description:
Nothing under the failed checks, yet they're failing the check!? Some
other failed reports do show the missing patches. I don't have access to
the clients today, so I'm wondering what this failure status means?
