Re: Automatic updates stopped working after SP3 has been installed

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Just tried your suggestion. Since there are no PingID and AccountDomainSid,
I've deleted SusClientId only.
Not helped either :(

Looks like I've discovered the sequence of actions that led to the current
issue:
1. After installing SP3 warnings and soap errors came up
2. One of our IT support guys deleted SusClientId instead of removing
SoftwareDistribution folder
3. And now nothing helps

Any other thoughts?

How about this:

net stop wuauserv

Delete the following registry keys:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\PingID

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\AccountDomainSid

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\SusClientId

net start wuauserv
wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow
