Error 1611: 1053

I get the above error on two of the four machines I added to my unregistered BatchPatch instance. The other two machines run normally. Any ideas?

Mon-11:49:28> Windows Update: Error 1611: 1053. Failure

I believe this is a Windows System error code:

ERROR_SERVICE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT

    1053 (0x41D)

    The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I haven’t seen this particular error before, but my best guess is that it’s an issue with psexec not able to run properly. Please carefully go through the steps at this link to see if you can pinpoint where the issue is:

Got it. PSEXESVC.exe was blocked by group policy. Remove the restriction and the error disappeared.

Excellent. Note you can also use ‘Tools > Settings > Remote Execution > Use PsExec -r switch to specify remote service name’ to change the name of psexesvc.exe running on the target computer to yourcustomname.exe.
