SOLVED SCCM 0x800F0954 error when trying to install Windows features

[gnuojoung]

Unable to download and install Windows features when using default Local Group Policies added by Config Manager client and enabling "specify setting for optional component installation and component repair"




only way to fix 0x800F0954 is to work is by manually changing "Specify source services for specific classes of Windows Updates" to have Windows Updates set for Feature Updates
But this causes issues with downloading updates form Config Mgr and workstations don't show as required.

So i'm stuck with having one work and the other not.
what setting am i missing?

What's the configuration manager in the question?

What's the configuration manager in the question?

version 5.00.9128.1007

Hi,

Check this registry which could be causing the issue: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations

By any chance, did you install the latest hotfix KB28458746 for 2403?

Never mind the KB does resolve the issue.
BUT you need to delete the following:
These values are under Windows Components > Windows Update > Manage updates offered from Windows Server Update Service. The corresponding registry location is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate.

• SetPolicyDrivenUpdateSourceForDriverUpdates
• SetPolicyDrivenUpdateSourceForFeatureUpdates
• SetPolicyDrivenUpdateSourceForOtherUpdates
• SetPolicyDrivenUpdateSourceForQualityUpdates

You can also then delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

• UseUpdateClassPolicySource
