Help with WSUS - Server cannot get automatic updates

Dienstag, 21. Februar 2012 11:58
I have SBS2008 std and have a problem with WSUS (and possibly the intranet functionality). On the Windows Update page, the Update button does not allow updates and returns error code 80244022 - Windows update encountered an unknown error. To get updates I use "Check online for updates from Microsoft Update" on the Windows Update page. In the Windows SBS Console - Security Tab - Updates, "An error occured while retrieving updates information" for all four of the listed items, viz.
"Updates with Microsoft Software Licence Terms that are Pending approval"
"Updates with errors"
"Optional Updates"
"Updates in Progress"
I have tried reinstalling WSUS using the following method with disk 2 of SBS2008 installation disk:<DVD Drive>:\CMPNENTS\wsus\wsussetup.exe /q DEFAULT_WEBSITE=0 CREATE_DATABASE=1 CONTENT_LOCAL=1 CONTENT_DIR=C:\WSUS WYUKON_DATA_DIR=C:\WSUS
LINK (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd443475%28WS.10%29.aspx)The WSUS folder is created on the C: drive of the server and the following sub folders created :
"UpdateservicesDbfiles"
"UpdateServicesPackages"
"WsusContent"As per STEP 4 of the LINK I navigate to START - Administrative Tools - Windows Server Update Service (and not listed as "Microsoft Windows Server Update Services <version x>" as per the LINK - I have updated this to SP2). I cannot expand the Update services as per LINK 4C because nothing is listed.
With the Update Services highlighted I select Action then Connect to Server... .I have tried the ServerName and IP on all four ports. The error receive for port
80 / 8530 - "Cannot connect to ServerName. The server may be using another port or different Secure Socket Layer setting".
8531 / 443 - Cannot connect to ServerName.The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificate for this server could not be validated.
I assume that WSUS is not connecting to some database. My journey trying to fix WSUS has come to an abrupt end and I seek your kind assistance. Thanking you in advance.

Dienstag, 21. Februar 2012 18:00Just an update. I started the IIS manager, expanded my server, clicked Application Pool. WsusPool's properties were set to 64 bit and was restarted. This allowed the server to be connected in the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS). Now I can follow the rest of the instructions in the LINK.

Update. I have run BPA and there are two cautions related to WSUS.
1. Windows SBS Update Services not set to default settings.
2. WSUS is not synchronized with Microsoft Updates.
The links point to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc527559.aspx . This is not very helpful. Any suggestions.?
