wuauserv always restart each time #31

Closed rosario-mattera closed 7 years ago

rosario-mattera commented 7 years ago

Hi, I've deployed the recipe configuring the chef-client to be executed each two hours as well as defined a WSUS server and the Target Group. What it happens is that the wuauserv is always not running so it's always restarted. What do you suggest?

Regards, Rosario

Hello @rosario-mattera

Thanks for your feedback, this is a known issue... the wuauserv service automatically shutdown itself when there is nothing more to do. One solution could be to restart the service after registry changes and that's it, this would fix your issue. The downside is that in case of error between the registry and the restart, we might loose the chef notification.

Hello @Annih could you please give me some details about the proposed solution?
