Windows 10: Windows 10 1803 updates fail after joining domain

This is an interesting issue that has just started occurring.


Windows updates on a clean install of Windows 10 Education 1803 work perfectly. However, I receive the 0x8000ffff error after I join the machine to a local Active Directory domain. The domain controller is Server 2012 R2 with the latest 1803 ADMX templates applied.


To add to the curiosity, I am still able to apply updates via my remote management client, yet still receive the 0x8000ffff error whenever I choose "Check Updates" on the workstation itself. Running the Windows Update troubleshooter does not resolve the problem.


Thank you for your advice!

Windows 10 Onedrive disappears after joining domain

Windows 10 not joined to domain, onedrive works perfectly. As soon as I joined the computer to the domain onedrive completely disappears. Not in file explorer, not listed in apps, not in task tray. I thought group policy must be the issue. I checked the
policy under Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | OneDrive. The policy was Not Configured. I disabled it just to be safe. Onedrive is still missing.

It's not listed in metro.

If I log onto my local account that was working before joining the domain. OneDrive is no longer there.

Even though it's built into Windows 10 I tried to download and install it. Setup fails with error

!ERROR! (0x80040B01) (fsmanagerimpl.cpp:142) ERROR: "' failed with 0x80040b01

All windows updates installed correctly without issues and are current.

Is there another group policy to check for?

Does this just not work when Windows 10 is joined to the domain?

thanks!

 

How to reserve Windows 10 for a non-domain joined PC (but perhaps fomerly domain joined)

My reservation icon for Windows 10 has not appeared. After ensuring i have all outstanding Windows updates, and run the script that runs scheduled tasks, the icon still doesn't appear.

Then there was the hint from
KB3081048:

> The "Get Windows 10" app doesn’t appear in Windows 7 or 8.1

>

> If your device is has been connected to a domain it may be blocked from the upgrade reservation.

It is entirely possible that for 2 or 3 minutes two or three years ago, my machine
was joined to a domain.

• What registry key is the upgrade advisor mistakenly using to determine if a machine is joined to a domain?
• How do i check if a machine was previously joined to a domain?
• How do i unjoin a non-domain joined machine from a domain?
• How do reserve a copy of Windows 10 for a non-domain joined PC?

Bonus Chatter: It's a Surface Pro 3

I tried using the
Media Creation Tool, but it fails with a non-descript error:



How do i upgrade to Windows 10 now that it is released?

 

Join Windows 10 PC to a Domain  


@rseiler,

I just finished clean installing Windows 10 Enterprise build 17093 in a VM using a local account, and it still has the same steps in the tutorial for me.

Is your PC already joined to a domain?
