WSUS Client Sync
- I'm currently working on a WSUS issue where the client is Windows Server 2003 SP2. The WSUS SP2 is installed on a Windows Server 2008 SP1 machine.
When I run wuauclt.exe /detectnow command on the client I receive the below error in windowsupdate.log:

I know that there is a hotfix(KB 923507/ KB 898708) for this kind of issue however these are applicable for Windows Server 2003 RTM/SP1 machines.
The client I'm working on is a Windows Server 2003 SP2 client. In the KB its mentioned that the issue is resolved in Windows Server 2003 SP2 machines.
On the client I've tried all basic troubleshooting like
>stopping AU service and removing the Software Distribution Folder and restarting AU service
>Recreated new SUS client ID and ran wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow.
Still did not work for me.
Is there any hotfix to resolve this issue in Windows 2003 SP2 ? Any ideas ?

- Hi,
The error is: the SOAP client is failing to parse the response from your server and because of that the Sync is also failing.
You can also try to reinstall your IIS.
BTW, this is a forum with SCE related issues, for more questions about WSUS, Please refer to WSUS forums, which would be helpful to provide any work arounds and more relevant information:
