Answer 1

Hi @Eduards ,

Windows Server 2008 is out of support, you have to upgrade it ASAP to keep up-to-date.

There is an ESU program that you can subscribe to keep getting security updates.

For the SCEP updates, have you checked this similar post: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/81262/scep-for-windows-server-2008-standard-no-longer-up.html?page=2&pageSize=10&sort=oldest

Hi,

Thanks for posting in TechNet.

Perhaps, it's because that starting on Monday October 21, 2019, the Security intelligence update packages will be SHA2 signed. Please install KB4474419 and KB4490628 to have a try.

A similar thread for your reference:
SCEP updates fail on Windows 7 and 2008R2 clients where they are not patched

Official articles for your reference:

Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Simon
