  • Windows 2008 Server Standard not install KB3099860 with error code 8000FFFF

    Hello

    I look after 3 x Windows 2008 Standard Edition servers. Two of them to date very well and are up to date with updates. One of them however, which is identical in hardware to either of the other two and even fewer programs (we use it as a simple file server), fails on the last update released December 2015:

    KB3099860 a security update for the .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2 in Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2: 8 December 2015

    I tried a variety of things after having studied the problem these past few days, including:

    1 Uninstalling some updates before this one and see if they re - install. They are all re - install fine until I get to it where it fails with 8000FFFF error code so this leads me to believe that this is not in itself a problem with updates

    2. manually and also linking this Microsoft 'fixit': http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/windows-update-error-8000ffff

    3. how to install the System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Server 2008 that installs but does not report errors

    4. manually by downloading the fix and trying to install - does not work.

    5. all the details here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/ae6e81e9-5c49-4826-89bc-04a676992706/error-8000ffff-windows-server-2008?forum=winservergen

    including rename them the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution Windows Update and giving of right on drive C for "Network Services" - still does not work.

    6. as it is associated .NET I tried to repair .NET facilities that exist on the server (2, 3, 3.5 and and re-apply updates, but even once, fails on it.)

    So, what should I do now? The behavior may suggest that it is that only this particular associate .NET that is a failure and that future ones will work, but it's "critical" and which relates to the .NET version which is initrinsic to the Windows 2008 operating system I think I should get it fixed :)

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you

    Dan

    You need to ask this Technet as they manage the server issues:

  • 8E5E0408 and Error 8000FFFF codes keep occurring when I try to use windows update. Defender definitions are the only thing that updates. I have Win 7 Ultimate, build 7100

    I get 8000FFFF error 8E5E0408, an update of the ATI driver codes and a Dell monitor succeeded. All the Defender definition update have been good.

    I moved and reloaded Win 7. Everything in the update works correctly. I am current in all. The Norton came from my motherboard software. Thanks for your time.

  • Windows 7 update error code 8000FFFF

    Howdy, I'm having a problem recently with Windows 7, do not update anything another Defender to windows then.  All other updates give 8000FFFF error code.  The latest good updates I had were 16/08/2010, then the first failures were 24/08/2010.  The only changes to my system since 08/16/2010 are the latest version of Firefox and I installed Starcraft II.  I spent hours going through the links of this error, but in almost every moment, the answers given are for windows vista that do not work for windows 7.

    I did a restore of the return if the system would let me which unfortunately is 24/08/2010.  I also tried to install updates manually by receiving the same error.

    Operating system = Windows 7 premium 64-bit,

    Anti-anti-virus/firewall = Windows defender (had norton 360 installed, but I was told IT caused with windows defender issues used the norton removal tool to uninstall.)

    It's pretty much a skeleton system, I use for games so that other then 3 games and firefox, it is has nothing in what the system did not come with installed.

    Any help/ideas are much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Anti-anti-virus/firewall = Windows defender (had norton 360 installed, but I was told IT caused with windows defender issues used the norton removal tool to uninstall.)

    Who told you that? Properly installed, Norton 360 turns off default Defender. (Defender is an anti-spyware application, not an anti-virus application.)

    Since you did not have an antivirus application installed for who knows how long, chances are you see the effects of a hijackware infection. See...
