Unable to apply patches and getting an error 198

[rick.reynolds]

I am using the eval package and I am very impressed so far. I’ve gone a couple of months now updating 3 servers with no issues. Today I ran into a problem with one of them and am getting the error -198: Failed to add scan package service. HRESULT: -2147024784

I did some reading but never found this exact HRESULT code. I did do a manual download of the wsusscn2.cab file and opened the digital signatures tab and it looks fine.

I thought maybe there was a service or something not running on the server. I don’t have encryption on files either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Rick

Hi Rick – I’m glad you’re liking the software so far.

0x80070070 -2147024784 ERROR_DISK_FULL There is not enough space on the disk

Looks like you need to free up some space on the target computer.

Thank you – am working on that now. Will post on the results once I can free up the space. Don’t suppose there is a way to move the target folder to a different drive that has a ton of space.

So I was able to clean up some disk space but then I googled how to actually move the softwaredistribution folder. So I was able to move that to the drive with lots of space and the updates are currently installing.

Thank you very much for your help.

Cheers Rick
