All WSUS Clients Stopped Reporting in on 2/18/2013

mercredi 6 mars 2013 14:21
Hello,
We have ~600 computers in our WSUS setup. All of the systems have stopped reporting in as of 2/18/2013. I'm not entirely sure what has changed because I'm only allowed to remote into the server for WSUS administration. The people who do manage the servers say that they haven't changed anything, but obviously something has changed.
The clients are all getting an error code of 800710DD (screenshot):
Here's a copy of the update log from a client as well.

The server event logs don't show anything unusual on that particular day.
Any advice on what to look for? I'm 75% sure SCCM isn't on the server because I don't think we even use that at my company. Is IIS corrupt somehow?
Thanks,
James

Hi James,
there's a thread here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverwsus/thread/82672a1d-0b8c-4ec2-8019-c3433ee043b7/ which describes the problem you are seeing.
One user said "Just Delete the IUSER_MachineName and Restart IIS by using the command iisreset."

Sadly, though, that is exceptionally BAD advice as deleting the IUSR_machineName account will break all anonymous access (which is exactly what the clients need), and running iisreset will not fix the break caused by deleting that account. Furthermore, this will then require the recreation of the account, setting of the password, and re-initializing every instance of a v-root on that IIS installation that requires anonymous access. (There are several in WSUS alone.)One user said "Just Delete the IUSER_MachineName and Restart IIS by using the command iisreset."

When 600 clients all start failing on the same day at approximately the same time, the server is, undoubtely the culprit no matter what may or may not appear in the logs.
As for the 0x800710DD error, that's an Access Denied error, which hasn't occurred much of late, but when it occurs due to a server side fault it is almost always caused because somebody has performed 'security tweaks' on the WSUS server, specifically one of two causes:
- removing the NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users group from the BUILTIN\Users group, or
- having changed the IUSR_machineName password.
The first is easily remediable and easy to check, so verify that Authenticated Users is still a member of the Users group.
If it is, then the latter is impossible to check, and somewhat tedious to remediate:
- Set a fresh password on the IUSR_machineName account in Local Users and Groups.
- Update the instance of the IUSR_machineName password on every v-dir in IIS that requires anonymous access. (On a WSUS v-root it's every v-dir except APIRemoting30.)

Thanks for the tips. I've looked into the matter further and I have discovered that the server hasn't been patched since July of 2011!!!
We've put in a request with our datacenter to have it patched. I'm assuming that there could be a mismatch between the level of patching for the WSUS and the server.
I'll let you know how it goes once the patches come down.

The patching of the server didn't help. We're going to open a case with Microsoft. I'll try to keep updating here in case it helps anyone else.
