SOLVED Server 2025 doesn't show any updates

[Burnacid]

Hi all

I'm having an issue updating any Server 2025 servers in our environment with SCCM.
We have a CAS setup with a few sites. The site containing server 2025 has a SUP on Server 2025. Most of the other servers in the SCCM environment are still Server 2016 (we are in the process of getting them upgraded)

Product Microsoft Server Operating System-24H2 is enabled


WSUS of the SUP shows it has the data for Server 2025 updates


The endpoints in question have updates managed through SCCM enabled in the client settings. And they show the regkeys for WSUS pointing to the correct SUP.


Deployments of the devices show windows updates are deployed to the machine



On the system though I do not see any Server 2025 updates. Though SQL updates that are available for this server are visible.
get-wmiobject -query "SELECT * FROM CCM_UpdateStatus" -namespace "root\ccm\SoftwareUpdates\UpdatesStore" | sort-object -Property Title | SELECT title, UniqueID, Status

This example is of a server that runs on 26100.4061 (CU of May 2025)
I've also tested to update servers by hand to October 2025 and hope the November update would be availble after. That wasn't the case.

I've already reinstalled WSUS and the SUP. I'm running out of ideas.
We are on CM 2503 + KB33177653. Anyone any clue what I can try more?

Have these servers got the latest ssu's installed?

 

[Burnacid]

Have these servers got the latest ssu's installed?

That is why I've tried updating one of them manually with the CU of October. As the CU has the SSU packaged. But even after updating with the CU from 1 month ago. The CU of the latest month (November) is not seen. The SUP server is patched until November

 

[Stanley Road]

So what happens if you install one of the updates manually and then run your query?

 

[Burnacid]

Nothing. No new updates show and it doesn't show the manually installed update

 

[Stanley Road]

if you use psinfo -s?

So maybe the problem is not that they are not getting installed but something is lying to you

Might have found a possible fix. These 3 settings seem to throw stuff into a not working state when they are set through GPO



They used to be Enabled and Manage preview builds was Disabled. I've set them to Not configured. 1 of my test machines now is able to see updates. So I'll investigate the rest. I'll report back with the results in due time
