Just wanted to see if anyone has had this error. I am currently evaluating Patch Manager and ran into an issue when attempting to patch a Windows 2003 R2 Server.
The WMI Providers installed fine and I can get connectivity, but if I try to run the Update Wizard I get this error:
Computer: SLANW55317-03-1.XXX.XXXX.XXX
Operation: Install
Object: Update retrieval failed
Status: Failed
Details: invalid criteria string
If I go to Computer Explorer and choose the "Windows Update History" tab I get more data in the form of a stack trace:
Device: SLANW55317-03-1.MSKCC.ROOT.MSKCC.ORG
Details: Win32_WUAUpdateHistoryEntry
Exception occurred at 7/26/2013 8:58:21 AM: System.InvalidCastException
The credential used to connect was mskcc\das

Has anyone encountered this issue? If so, does anyone know the fix? The product seems like something that will work for my needs but if I cant get past this then it won't be of any use since I do have several 2003 servers that I can't get rid of just yet.
Oh and I am running the product on Windows Server 2012 using WSUS & SQL Express that gets installed with the product,
Thanks.
