Hello Support,

Please, assist, as I attempted to install this december Windows 2012 R2 patches are failing on some servers, while on others its installing successfully.

I have attempted everything to repair, no luck.

This Event ID under Windows Update Client: Event 31: "Windows Update Failed to Download an Update".

Please help resolve as failing on two our domain controllers, a Micrososft CA and Windows File Server.

    I know, but this is happening on 4-5 VMs and don't see why its happening on these while others are same Windows 2012 R2 OS.

    Please, take a look at the logs.

    Another possibility is a repair install by running setup.exe from the root of the install media, but I give this less than a 5% chance of working. Time would likely be better spent standing up a new one. A replacement domain controller could be operational in about 30 minutes.

    I have had the same issue with installing the December 2020 updates from SCCM to our entire fleet of 2012 and 2016 servers. Even our test servers which we push updates to first in the Dev environment have failed.

    We have 15 Windows 2012 R2 servers that failed to install the updates, all reporting an Error Code of 0x800705B4 and an Error Description of "This operation returned because the timeout period expired".

    We also have 7 Windows 2016 servers that failed to install the updates.

    So for us "Time would likely be better spent standing up a new one." is not viable when you have 22 servers that have failed to install updates.

    I have never had this before on our SCCM server, 2 different ADR deployments showing 0% compliant. I firmly believe that there is something wrong with the updates. Where can I go to log a ticket with Microsoft support?
