Windows 10 WSUS Upgrade Issues File Not Found

I had problems with updating my system to 1607 version.
Recieved error message File not found.

Found this website with solution
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/d7dbb851-4e3a-41d9-9072-1f16d7b1bc1e/fix-domain-windows-10-wsus-upgrade-issues-file-not-found?forum=winserverwsus

We were having an issue with the Windows 10 upgrade MS recently released to WSUS server on our domain. To put a long story short the issue is in IIS and NOT WSUS per say. After some testing it turns out IIS was not serving the .esd file (this is the main update file) due to the mime type not being set. To rectify the issue:

under IIS Admin->WSUS Administration->Content-> Click on “Mime Types”-> Add

File Mame Extention:  = .esd

MIME type:     application/vnd.ms-cab-compressed

If you have already tried to pull the W10 update you may need to clear your SoftwareDistribution Download Cache under the Windows Dir and clear out the hidden $WINDOWS.~BT

EDIT:

The actual mime type for esd, accordion to http://www.filesuffix.com/en/extension/esd, is “application/octet-stream”.

Dell E7470 Bios Update

At the company where I work we don’t have full domain rights. There is no SCCM Server. There is an other software deploy program that we only have rights to send it to computers, not to create packages. So I create my own scripts to update computers.

This script I wanted to created in Powershell because it is the new windows script language. And is only used for Windows 10

I created a separate AD group that I can select the computers one by one to update. If you do all at once and there are problems you have a lot of work.

This script is added in users policy and computer policy because the user has no admin rights and needs to give aprove to do the update.

Remove Java and install Latest Version

At the company where I work we don’t have full domain rights. There is no SCCM Server. There is an other software deploy program that we only have rights to send it to computers, not to create packages. So I create my own scripts to update computers.

This script I use to update Java on all computers. Windows 7 and Windows 10.
