    update on problem 2:

    Ok so I had forgotten that I had actually stopped the update service because I needed to do some cleanup from downloading the wrong updates initially.

    And then — in the context of this particular run — I didn’t restart the update service. If I initialize batchpatch to “install” OR download, does it not kick off the service? Or is this what caused the “offline” behavior?

    Regarding question number 1:

    I don’t see any obvious issues. I don’t know what your textual filter was set to, but according to the remote agent log there are two important things to note:

    1. In the section that says “::Begin filtering collection,” updates are skipped there because “Reason: Update not in ‘IncludeSpecificUpdatesList'” which means that your textual filter did not include the update.

    2. In the section that says “::Begin adding downloaded items to installer collection,” updates are skipped there because they were not downloaded yet. For this action you chose ‘Install downloaded updates’ which will only install updates that had already been downloaded to the computer. These updates were never downloaded, and so they could not be installed with ‘Install downloaded updates.’ They would need to be installed with ‘Download and install updates.’


    Regarding question number 2:

    ‘::Begin offline search’ indicates that you chose the action ‘Install downloaded updates.’ This is NOT the same as when ‘offline mode’ is enabled in BatchPatch. The ‘Install downloaded updates’ search is performed ‘offline’ because BatchPatch searches the target computer (*not* the WSUS server and *not* Microsoft’s Windows Update server) to see which updates it already/previously downloaded.

    When ‘offline mode’ is used the remote agent log instead says “::Begin ‘offline sync service’ search.”

    argh.. for problem 1 same issue I believe I answered all my questions. I stopped the service and didn’t restart it. My assumption is this is what caused my headaches:
