Error Solution for SCCM Script: Rectifying WUA Policy Issues
In an effort to help IT administrators tackle WSUS Error 0x80004005, a utility named has been developed. This tool is designed to address issues related to the Windows Update Agent (WUA) Policy, a common cause of the aforementioned error.
How to Use Fix-DMGSCCMWUAPolicy.ps1
To resolve WSUS Error 0x80004005 caused by a Group Policy override, you can use the script. This script corrects or resets the policy settings that conflict with WSUS updates.
Install the Group Policy Known Issue Rollback
First, install the special Group Policy designed to fix update errors caused by Group Policy overrides. This policy can be found under . It disables or reverts the problematic Group Policy setting temporarily to allow updates via WSUS.
Restart the Device
After applying the Group Policy, restart the device to ensure settings take effect.
Run the Script
Next, run the PowerShell script with Administrator privileges. This script resets relevant registry keys or policies that conflict with update processes.
Manual Installation (for older Windows versions)
If your Windows version is older than the July 25, 2024 update (for example, prior to KB5040527 on Windows 11 22H2 or KB5063878 on 24H2), you need to manually install the Group Policy fix before or along with using the script to resolve errors caused by the override. Post that update, the fix is included by default and no longer requires a manual Group Policy installation.
Refresh WSUS
After applying these fixes, refresh or re-sync WSUS to enable the client to receive and install updates properly without error 0x80004005 or similar codes triggered by policy conflicts.
Automating the Process with Fix-DMGSCCMWUAPolicy.ps1
The utility operates without requiring manual intervention on each computer. It can be run against a set of imported computers, making the task of resolving WSUS Error 0x80004005 more efficient.
Upon deployment creation, the update policy is sent to client computers, and update content files are downloaded from a Distribution Point (DP) to the local cache on the client computer. If the error 0x80004005 appears in the WUAHandler.log file, it suggests that Group Policy is overriding the local policy, preventing the workstation from being patched or updated. The updates are then available for installation.
When deploying software updates, updates are added to a Software Update Group (SUG) and then deployed to clients. The utility skips computers where the fix is not required and moves on to the next computer in the CSV file. This tool aims to automate the task of resolving WSUS Error 0x80004005.
The utility's operation does not require manual intervention on each computer. It creates a log file compatible with the CMTrace.exe tool, allowing for easy analysis of the utility's performance.
If you want exact steps or the script content, these are typically provided by Microsoft or trusted IT support sources alongside the Group Policy download referenced in their release notes.
