This is a virtual server, in AWS EC2, it is part of a patching group and has been since November.
Last 2 patch days this server has not patched and has given a Timeout error in AWS.
When logging into the server, it was sluggish, I tried to run systeminfo | find /i "boot time" thinking it had been a while, and the command never finished (one of my guys tested it too in their RDP same issue) and the updates section gave a generic error.
Rebooted it
Tried the updates and got this error "There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x800705b4)".
I checked event viewer for the patch times and there was nothing that indicated it even attempted to start, if I go back 3 patch days i find the normal references of starting completion rebooting etc. So it behaves as though it never received the request to run updates.
Went back into AWS Run Command and launched the patch manually from there, 2.5-3 hours later it said it failed due to Timeout.
Also cannot run patching manually on that system after the reboot.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
