    Geetings,

    I cannot automatically opt-in for Microsoft-Update on my remote machines. Persmissions are fine (domain admin – regular patch tasks are running fine). I get the following error:

    Di-13:56:59> Windows Update: Error -115: Failed to execute the search. Unknown update service. If attempting to use ‘Microsoft Update’ you must first opt-in to the service. See ‘Actions > Windows Updates > Opt-in…’

    Di-13:56:34> Windows Update: Executing BatchPatchRemoteAgent.exe…

    Di-13:56:33> Windows Update: Attempting to initiate Windows Update (Action: Search for updates: ‘SoftwareOnly’ | Server selection: Microsoft Update) …

    Di-13:56:33> Windows Update: Establishing connection…

    Di-13:56:32> Windows Update: Initializing…

    Di-13:56:32> Windows Update: Queued… (Check for available updates)

    If I connect locally to the machineand change to Microsoft Update (all on another machine for testing), everythuing seems to be fine.

    Any hints or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    Regards

    Johannes

    It appears that you have not actually “opted-in” to the Microsoft Update service. As noted in the following error message, you must first opt-in to the Microsoft Update service. Use ‘Actions > Windows Updates > Opt-in…’ one time on any target computer that you want to scan for updates using Microsoft Update. Performing this action is equivalent to launching the Windows Update GUI on the target computer and selecting the option to ‘Get updates for other Microsoft products.’ This must be completed one time before you will be able to successfully scan for updates using ‘Tools > Settings > Server Selection > Microsoft Update.’
