Let’s see how to fix an SCCM-related issue: I failed to search for WUAgent Error 0x8007000e. This is another troubleshooting blog post to help the Configuration Manager community. This troubleshooting is part of your SCCM software update deployment process.

Deployed patches to a collection, and are no patches exposed in the software center? I checked the policy, and it’s arrived. Software Update Deployment Evaluation Cycle says, “Evaluation initiated for (0) assignments. Now checked WUAHandler and found the error below:

Troubleshooting Failed to Search on WUAgent Error 0x8007000e Issue

Let’s see how I troubleshot and fixed the following error that failed to search on WUAgent: Error 0x8007000e.

  • Open cmd as administrator and type
  • cleanmgr tuneup   
  • Select the below values from the box.
    • Temp Setup Files
    • Downloaded Program Files
    • Temp Internet Files
    • Recycle Bin
    • System error memory dump files (NOT the following line – minidump files)
    • Temp Files
    • Temp Windows Installation Files
  • Stop the Windows update service, remove each folder from softwaredist, and run ClientDiag.exe. Did the error disappear when the scan was initiated? If yes, then that’s very good. If not, then that’s very bad.

I followed all these steps and still see the same error, but it looks slightly different. Screenshot below:
