"WindowsUpdate_80070490" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

This an error that is telling me that an update failed to install,
Specifically (KB967723).

Upon further investigation; it seems the update is listed as successfully
installing on Sept 11th but for some reason is now trying to re-install or
some such.

System is Windows Server 2008 x64. (Dual Quad core Xeon Dell R610, 48GB RAM)
I have an identical system where the update is fine.

Any insights?

Before doing an 'in-place upgrade', described as a 'repair installation'
in the KB article, suggest that you download, *save*, and then run the
System Update Readiness Tool [CheckSUR]:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821

"What is the System Update Readiness Tool?
System resources, such as file data, registry data, and even in-memory
data, can develop inconsistencies during the lifetime of the operating
system. These inconsistencies might be caused by various hardware
failures or might be caused by software issues. In some cases, these
inconsistencies can affect the Windows servicing store, and they can
cause software updates not to work. The System Update Readiness Tool
tries to resolve these "

Link to the x64 release:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...f-0feefc7ff064

Although the 80070490 error is not shown on the error code table IF
there was an issue with the installation of the latest release of the
Windows Update Agent then there's it's conceivable that this is the
cause of the update being detected as needed instead rather than as
installed.
If CheckSUR does not resolve the error you can still check the 2 logs it
created when it ran to see if there was an issue that it could not resolve:
* %windir%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log
* %windir%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.persist.log

Heaven forbid I should use WINDOWS UPDATE to update Windows OMG what was I
thinking?

Now I'm getting this error on both of my 2008 servers... what am I supposed
to do, come in on a Sunday to reinstall Windows, risking loosing AD?

Why don't you write the updates correctly so they install correctly?

Heaven forbid you should begin your own, new thread about YOUR problem
instead of hijacking someone else's thread from Oct-09!

Heaven forbid you should quote my entire reply! ...which included a
reference to:

How to overcome error 0x80070490 when installing updates in Windows
Vista/Server 2008
http://blogs.msdn.com/andrekl/archiv...rver-2008.aspx

Heaven forbid that you assume I work for or represent Microsoft! (I don't
nor does anyone else here.)

PS: Bite me.

I have tried a lot of times, but failed. Finanlly, I manually downloaded the
KB, and clike on the download files to install, the outcome is successfully
installed.

And I suggest you find some references that are in English, so that the
majority of people likely to read this will be able to understand the
material you linked to!
