I’ve noticed these EventID:122 errors appearing on my Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V host. Its running in a workgroup and has registry settings defined to connect to my WSUS server.

Source: DeviceSetupManager

EventID: 122

Message: Access to drivers on Windows Update was blocked by policy

The only reference I can find is from here:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/D/F/ADF1347D-08DC-41A4-9084-623B1194D4B2/device-metadata-package-pipeline.docx

where it says only:

Event ID: 122 Warning: DriverInstallBlockedByWUPolicy.

Driver install failed because of WU opt-in policy. Users or group policy opt-out the WU driver download.

  • Message: Access to drivers on Windows Update was blocked by policy

but no other mention of *what* policy that refers to.
