Takes hours each time. And I have spent enough time researching this online as well as discussing this with my friends who also work in IT support. It's a well known fact - Microsoft wants everyone to buy licences for and that's why support for is so appalling.
And no my internet is not slow, my server is not slow. I guess I will have to contact my hardware manufacturer and see if they can supply a OEM licence at a reduced cost as my server is only few months old and they should have made available at the time I was purchasing it.
Microsoft generally only allow has free upgrades for licenses under an active Software Assurance agreement. The limited time offer to upgrade from Windows 7, 8, and 8. Microsoft has never done anything like it before or since. Why are you patching them manually one-by-one at the WU console, get WSUS in and configured and you wont have this problem. Also I don't think it would solve the problem as the issue is not just with downloading updates, but also applying them. Nearly 2GB downloaded in under 4 minutes.
Thought my problems were over. But boy was I wrong Double-clicked on one of the packages and Windows Update Standalone Installer has been showing "Copying packages to the Windows Update cache" for the last hour or so.
Would this be applied faster via WSUS? Highly doubt it. It's just something fundamentally wrong in a way MS are applying updates on Server Must be a core issue with the OS. Internet is full of people complaining about this.
Nothing but a deliberate scam by Microsoft. It's not something that only occurred recently. Had this issue ever since I've installed the server. Researched it online previously and researched it again today in hope of finally finding that there is a solution after all. Also discussed this in person with other people. And you'll see for yourself. You will find that there are hundreds if not thousands of people moaning about this all over the world. To me and in fact not just me it is more than obvious that Updates on Server are not working properly.
Will try to get my hardware manufacturer to provide me an OEM for at a discounted rate as this should have been available at the time of purchasing the server.
If you're having issues with , you can take two approaches. You can spend an inordinate amount of time researching and trying tip after tip. Or you can just toss the whole thing in the bin and go with something that doesn't require so much hands on. I think asking the manufacturer to make good is the best bet for you. At the worst, it's only a few hundred dollars - compare that to your time. Microsoft licensing has never been easy to understand.
