    I have a clean install of SBS2008 which includes WSUS. Reports from the server say everything is OK (except no clients have registeres)
    I have done the group policy and double checked it
    I ran the client diagnostics and get the following:

    N:\Microsoft-1\Wsus Utilities>clientdiag

    WSUS Client Diagnostics Tool

    WinHttpDownloadFileToMemory(szURLDest, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &downloadBuffe
    r) failed with hr=0x80190194

    No Error description could be found

    Press Enter to Complete

    I have read all the suggestions about settings on the WSUS web site on the server and can find no problems, yet the clients cant seem to connect. I'm about ready to give up.

    Has anyone got a suggestion?

    Thanks
    Todd

                    WUServer = https://indi.wlmsburg.org
                    WUStatusServer = http://indi.wlmsburg.org


    I see two defects right off the top...

    1. This is an SBS server, so the port assignment for WSUS *MUST*  have the port suffix 8530.

    2. The URLs for WUServer and WUStatusServer are not identical -- one is marked as HTTPS: the other as HTTP:

    Reset both URLs to http://indi.wlmsburg.org:8530 and your problem should be solved.
