The V7.6 build came out on a fairly accelerated schedule (to fix the bug in v7.5, that doesn't exist in v7.4). I prefer to NOT install updates until they are needed. It's really a matter of personal preference. Enable the "Version" column.ĭo you think it's advisable to just install the V7.6 on all of the Win2008R2 SP1 and Win7 SP1 machines, so the issue will never affect my machines?

The current WUAgent version is available in the WSUS computer group listings. Is there a way for me to check remotely (or with a script) which machines are running the WUAgent v7.5? Or just those machines freshly installed with the SP1 included on the install DVD/Image? Principal/CTO, Onsite Technology Solutions, Houston, Texas Microsoft MVP - Software Distribution (2005-2011)Īny Win7RTM (or Win2008R2RTM) upgraded to SP1, will get the V7.5 installed over the v7.4? Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP:EA, MCDBA, MCSA Office via your WSUS server - which is how this bug was found - it's highly improbable that you will encounter this issue in normal everyday WSUS usage. The fix is related to the ability of the WUAgent to successfully download a CAB file >350MB. The v7.6 build was expressly designed to fix a 'bug' in the WUAgent v7.5 that shipped with the SP1 package for Win7/2008R2 and should only be applied to those "SP1" systems.įurthermore, I'd treat this as a "hotfix" and only apply the WUAgent v7.6 to SP1-based systems that need to have that 'fix' applied. The 'bug' does not exist in the WUAgent v7.4 that is installed by WU/MU/WSUS3SP2. On a Win7 RTM or Win2008R2 RTM system that has the WUAgent v7.4 installed, you should not upgrade it to v7.6. The WUAgent v7.6 will upgrade on a Win7 SP1 or Win2008R2 SP1 system that has the WUAgent v7.5 installed. There is no need to uninstall the WUAgent.

The "latest version" is only applicable to machines with Service Pack 1 already installed. I am tring to upgrade the WUA in windows 2008 r2 64 bit to the latest version.But some of the servers are not getting updated.,It still shows older vesrion.SO I am tring to reinstall the WUA in these servers.
