[German<\/a>]It seems that Updates KB4025336 for Windows Server 2012 R2 and KB4025331 for Windows Server 2012 are breaking WSUS and SCCM. Here are a few details. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"I've been contacted by German blog reader Marco R. by e-mail \u2013 but I noticed some issues already within Microsoft forums. <\/p>\n

Updates KB4025336 for Windows Server 2012 R2<\/h2>\n

Updates KB4025336<\/a> is a monthly rollup f\u00fcor Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, released on July 11, 2017. Beside the iSCSI connection issue, I 've mentioned within my blog post Windows Server: an Update causes iSCSI connection issues<\/a> (fixed with Windows 8.1 Preview Rollup Update KB4025335<\/a>), the update also breaks client's connection with WSUS. <\/p>\n

I've addressed this issue within my blog post Botched Updates KB4025252 and KB4025336 (July 2017)<\/a>. German blog reader JohnRipper mentioned within a comment<\/a>, that update KB4025336<\/a> (Monthly Rollup for Windows 8.1\/Windows Server 2012 R2) blocks the client's connection to WSUS. I found also a 2nd post<\/a> within German heise.de forum, dealing with the same issue. All clients reports suddenly error 0x80244008 during update search. This error code stands for (see<\/a>): <\/p>\n

\n

WU_E_PT_SOAPCLIENT_PARSEFAULT \u2013 0x80244008 \u2013 (16392) \u2013 Same as SOAPCLIENT_PARSEFAULT_ERROR \u2013 SOAP client failed to parse a SOAP fault.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It seems, that this update breaks something within SOAP client. The only solution known yet is uninstalling the botched update. The topic is also discussed within technet forum<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Update KB4025331 for Windows Server 2012<\/h2>\n

Update KB4025331<\/a> is a monthly rollup update for Windows Server 2012, issued at July 11, 2017. This patch shall fix Internet Explorer 10 crashes and other issues. Blog reader Marco R. informed me via e-mail about a serious issue with this update for Windows Server 2012 and WSUS. Marco wrote (I freely translated his German text): <\/p>\n

\n

Here is an information, that caused a lot of time to investigate. Beside KB4025336 for Windows 2012 R2 also Update KB4025331 for Windows Server 2012 \u2026 breaks WSUS.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He did send me a screen shot with entries from WindowsUpdate.log<\/em>, that he found on all Windows 7 x64 clients of a customer. <\/p>\n

\"KB4025331<\/a>
(Click to enlarge) <\/p>\n

The log file reports several error 0x8024400D which stands for WU_E_PT_SOAP_CLIENT (Same as SOAP_E_CLIENT \u2013 SOAP client found the message was malformed; fix before resending). It indicates, that something went terrible wrong with SOAP client connection within Windows Update. I guess, the hints given here<\/a> and here<\/a> won't help. Marco R wrote: <\/p>\n

After installing no more Office and Windows updates could be installed from clients via SCCM. After uninstalling update KB4025331<\/a> from Windows 2012 WSUS Server, the error has been gone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Within this Spiceworks community thread<\/a> somebody addressed a similar issue, but mentioned other updates. But within this Technet thread<\/a> update KB4022720 (see<\/a>) has been identifies as a root cause for WSUS error 0x80244008 (WU_E_PT_SOAPCLIENT_PARSEFAULT, same code as for SOAPCLIENT_PARSEFAULT_ERROR \u2013 SOAP client failed to parse a SOAP fault). Within this this MS forum thread<\/a> user LiquidVipe reported update KB4025331<\/em> breaks WSUS aon Windows Server 2012. <\/p>\n

\n

My Wsus runs in Windows Server 2012 R1. Same problem here but different KB: 4025331. <\/p>\n

Uninstalling solved the problem.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The thread deals with the issue, that clients could not connect to WSUS to receive updates. I published these cases here, perhaps other admins can confirm this issue. If a solution is known, please feel free to drop a comment. <\/p>\n
