ConfigMgr: Windows 7 32-bit and Software Updates
From the archive (2015). Written for the tools of the time, so some details may be out of date.
Pretty nasty bug out there right now with 32-bit Windows 7 and Software Updates. If you are struggling with getting your clients to download/install updates. Check your WindowsUpdate.log, if you see the following error:
WARNING: ISusInternal::GetUpdateMetadata2 failed, hr=8007000E
Then I’d strongly encourage you to apply the following KB/Hotfix (KB3050265).
Here is also a great article explaining what is going on from the ConfigMgr Team Blog. Read that article here.
After applying this update in my client environment, patches immediately started working again.
