Server 2012R2 Failing to install Windows Updates

Pergunta

Hi there,
Our Windows Server 2012 appears to be plagued with problems in terms of installing its Windows Updates.
We are running Windows Server 2012 R2 Version 6.3 (Build 9600).
The server obtains it's updates from a separate WSUS server.
I am finding that almost all updates keep failing.
I have tried the Reset Windows Update Agent Tool, which has not helped.
I have also tried the Windows Update Troubleshooter which says: "A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting".
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do next as this is becoming a real cause for concern.
Thanks in advance.

For WSUS issues I'd reach out to experts in dedicated forum over here.

Hi,
Try to use the DISM tool and System File Checker:
- Press CTRL+Shift+ESC to open Task Manager.
- Click File > Run New Task
- Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
- Type CMD and hit Enter
- If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
- Type or copy paste the below command lines one by one into it and hit Enter key:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
sfc /scannow
To close the Administrator: Command prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter. Reboot your system to see if problem still occurs.
Hope can help you. Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Kiki

Thanks everyone, I am quite sure this is not a WSUS related issue as I have other Windows Server 2012 systems on the same network, getting the same WSUS updates and they are not having this problem.
I followed through your steps and this is what I got...
I have retained both logs if you would like to look at them. Not too sure how I can share them though as there is no way via this post.

Thanks,
I went to the site followed through to point four where you need to do: You will see a search box in the top right corner, type KB3022345 to find the update with less effort.
The update is not there.
I went to the second link you suggested, after filling out all of the info, it tells me I need to pay either £398 for single incident suport or £199 for business hours support.
We are a UK School. Surely this sort of support is included with Microsoft for free given the amount of effort they are putting in to getting schools to use Microsoft and embrace their technologies.

Hi,
Have you try the other solutions in the above link?
Please run a system file check(SFC) & DISM. More specific details you could refer to the following link:
System file check (SFC) Scan and Repair System Files & DISM to fix things SFC cannot
We can try everything we can do firstly. If it still doesn't work, then you can only open a case for the engineer to help you analyze your log files to help solve the problem more efficiently.
Besides, if you want to enjoy the service, you need follow the rules.
Hope can help you. Have a nice day^_^
Best Regards,
Kiki

source files could not be downloaded
Looks to be an internet connectivity problem.

Thanks for the post, have checked the internet connectivity, and all seems good. Have done various pings, all going through fine.
We do have a school firewall, but I doubt it would be blocking anything Microsoft specific.

Might also try a repair installation by running setup.exe from the root of the installation media, or the better / cleaner / safer option is stand up a new one, patch it fully and migrate the roles or applications over to it.
