Windows Update patch issue with Windows Server 2008 SP2

I would like to raise a support case regarding Windows Update patch issue with Windows Server 2008 SP2.

Background:



This server has not being patched since 2012 that leaves a big gap and due to constraint to access internet for Microsoft Internet Update, patches are made available from an offline WSUS (import server).

The imported metadata and the copied WSUS Content from Exported consist of

• classification such as Critical, Definition and Security Updates.
• Production Windows Server 2008

To fix the issue mentioned, I have tried out to install the security updates that are before 2019 first and gradually patch it till 2020.

Most of the patches were successfully installed until it failed for :

• KB4474419(2019-06)
• KB4474419(2019-09)
• KB4524135(Cumulative Update for IE9)
• KB4520002(2019-10 Monthly Rollup)

When it failed, several restarted occur to fall back.



Info for the Current Server:

OS Name : Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Standard

OS Version : 6.0.6003 Service Pack 2 Build 6003



Any workaround or quickfix will be appreciated.

Thanks.
