wsusscn2.cab file update issue

[booster]

Dear team,

During the morning patching, no updates were applicable. Nothing strange so far, except the last patching was done end of January and the patching Tuesday supposed some KB’s were applicable to my hosts. However after 2x update checks and a BP server reboot, nothing to.

I checked the BP cache directory for the wsusscn2.cab file, and here was the issue: in my cache directory, 2 files were present:

wsusscn2.cab ( stamp 2015/01/29)

wsusscn2.PARTIAL

A manual wsusscn2.cab D/L (tools>Download Microsoft offline scan file) reports a successful transfer but the file in the cache didn’t change, due to the present of wsusscn2.PARTIAL I guess. A deletion of these 2 files resolved the issue.

Hopefully I was certain KB’s were applicable to my servers and I didn’t missed the maintenance windows. Do you have any possibility to add a check on the present files before a wsusscn2.cab D/L?

Many thanks

Regards

Booster

Thanks for reporting this, Booster. This shouldn’t happen, as there are already multiple ways that BP is checking for and replacing the file if there is a newer one available. It’s not quite clear what might have caused this in your case, but I think it’s likely a rare set of circumstances. We’ll review the code to see if there’s anything else we can do to prevent this from occurring in the future.

Hi Doug,

I agree, It occurs once on multiple BP server installed. Thanks for your consideration
