Question : VMWare ESX 4 Update Manager and failing Remediation for certain patches

I am somewhat new to VMware and the update manager patching system.  It seems to work great other than it seems like there are constantly certain patches that it fails on every time.  It might get 80% of the patches on fine but then fail on one or two each month which means I then have to go back and do it manually.  This defeats the point of even using Update Manager if I still have to manually go through them.  Some of the patches that fail every time are:

MS08-040
MS09-062
MS09-004
MS10-041

I was just wondering if there's anything I can do to make these and future patches where this happens work.  I'm running the newest Update Manager that came with ESX 4 Update 2.

Answer : VMWare ESX 4 Update Manager and failing Remediation for certain patches

Oh gosh...I bet I have a problem via WSUS (I use the most current version...3 SP2...and I bet I have a problem with updates every other month. It's inconsistent at best though...not the same update on every machine has a problem. It's sporadic at best.

I did a search of a few of those above patches in VMware's KB and nothing came up, so this may be just an anomaly? Might be advisable to call VMware to see if they're aware of issues with those patches and just not posted anything on their site yet.

Keep me posted...
