WSUSSCN2.CAB Digital Signature issue

Question

Now I can't get any of the scripts to work due to the error: The digital signature of the object did not verify (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80096010).

I have looked at the SHA-256 signature in the CAB file and it comes across as signing time Monday, Dec 7, 2020 12:48:20 AM but it also shows: This digital signature is not valid.

How do I get around this problem, short of disabling the digital signature verification, since that is not a winning strategy or is this a problem with the Microsoft signature?

Answer 1

Woops, I was cutting and pasting and missed the 1st paragraph.

I have several desktops that are completely offline due to requirements. I utilize WSUSSCN2.CAB to verify which patches are needed for a given month and verify patch compliance upon patch completion. I utilize scripts that query the CAB to produce the results.

Now I can't get any of the scripts to work due to the error: The digital signature of the object did not verify (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80096010).

I have looked at the SHA-256 signature in the CAB file and it comes across as signing time Monday, Dec 7, 2020 12:48:20 AM but it also shows: This digital signature is not valid.

Answer 2

Nevermind, I found that downloading 4-5 copies of the CAB today that the last two came through as valid.
