I am having an issue with a downstream WSUS box (Server 2008R2, WSUS 3 SP2) syncronizing with the upstream server (Server 2008R2, WSUS 3 SP2). I am getting the following error message:
WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host
has failed to respond 172.24.9.250:443

The 172.24.9.250:443 address referenced above is the correct address for the upstream server.
Ping and tracert are both sucessful to and from both servers
I have verified IIS on the upstream server is set to use port 443
I am able to browse to https://UpstreamServerName/selfupdate/wuident.cab from the downstream server and have a download dialog box come up
I have verified that the servername is correct in the options settings for Update Source on the downstream server, and the use SSL checkbox is checked.
I have verified DNS resolves to the correct IP address from both servers
Both servers are, if configured to do so, able to get updates directly from Microsoft. I do not want to download all of the updates twice however.
The downstream server is also a SCCM 2012R2 Site Server
I am new to this particular environment, but I have dealt with WSUS for past employers. From what I am told this problem started when a previous employee partially deployed SCUP - I don't know if this will be relevant or not, but I want to provide all the
information I can.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
