You are using wsus or you have move update management to SCCM. When move update management from WSUS to SCCM everything seems normal but you have some problems with different error codes. You should check Software Update Scan – Status report and you can see problem details in this report.
I will suggest a method for 0x80004005 error code in this article. When I research this error I saw same way for problem solution. There are many people recommends “you should rename or delete C:\Windows\SoftwareDistrubition folder”. But that way does not help for this problem. So I could follow another way for problem soluiton and I’m sharing that steps with you.
Error Description:
- Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent of type (2) and id ({9793643F-BEB7-4CBA-B502-B1214E0BE768}). Error = 0x80004005.
Solution ways:
Note: You should use cmd (with local admin right) for problem solution.
I- Check the Machine folder when created.
cd c:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\
dir
II- Change the Machine folder name.
REN Machine Machine.OLD
Dir
III- Delete the Group Policy Users folder.
RD /S /Q “%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicyUsers”
IV- Delete the Group Policy folder.
RD /S /Q “%WinDir%\System32\GroupPolicy”
Note: Usually this step warns “The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.”
V- Run gpupdate /force command for re-take User and Machine policy.
gpupdate /force
VI- Stop the Windows Update service.
net stop wuauserv
VII- Start the Windows Update service.
net start wuauserv
VIII- Manuel triggering for Software Updates Scan Cycle.
WMIC /namespace:\\root\ccm path sms_client CALL TriggerSchedule “{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000113}” /NOINTERACTIVE
IX- Check the Registry.pol file. That file must be re-created.
cd .\Machine
dir
X- Open the WUAHandler.log file with cmtrace application and check update scan process for problematic computer. You should see everything is normal and you can manage this computer with SCCM for Windows Update 🙂
