I would probably reregister msiexec and remove the softwaredistribution folder. But for all I know, that might make things worse. :-P

Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Jeff Bunting [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2011 4:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Windows 2008R2 Update problems I'm having a problem with updates on a Win2008R2 VM I'm trying to resolve. Background info: Server was current with patches through Nov. 2010. I pushed out the December updates internally with BladeLogic as this server doesn't have internet access. Updates failed and I found that someone had set disk quotas which were being applied to NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller and NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. I changed the quotas to unlimited for these two accounts and retried the patch installation. According to the Setup log, all of the patches were successfully installed. However, on restart the Windows Modules Installer service keeps crashing and retrying. Currently, the updates do not appear as installed updates in control panel, and roles can not be added from server manager. I ran sfc /scannow which did not detect any problems. Lastly, I ran the System Update Readiness tool (KB947821) which logged the following (below). I'm not sure how to proceed from here. any ideas appreciated. ================================= Checking System Update Readiness.
