Question
-
Hello,
I have several servers
Operating System: Windows Server 2016
WSUS Server: Windows Server 2012
which are failing during the launch of "Check for updates"
The process has been tried several time and alwys the same error in return.
Some other fixes have been tried:
sfc /scannow --------------------------------------------------------------- net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver
Reboot
same error afterwards...
also
Press Windows key + R, type "services.msc" (without quotes) in start run box and press Enter. b. Locate Windows Update service. c. Right click on the Windows Update service and select Properties. d. In Start-up type, select Enable. e. Click Start under Service status. f. Click OK. g. Repeat the steps c to f for the following services also: Background Intelligent Transfer Service & Cryptographic Service.
No luck either...
I am providing also the ReportingEvents.log from the SoftwareDistribution folder...

Check WSUS app pool from your WSUS server and start the WSUS app pool,

Hi Dom,
Please check if the Group Policy applied to this part of the client is configured correctly:
- Windows Components - Windows Update
[Specify intranet Microsoft update service location] Please check if the configured WSUS server address is the correct "FQDN:PortNUM" address?
Then, please confirm that this "FQDN:PortNUM" can be accessed. You can access the following locations through a browser on the client:
- http://WSUSserverFQDN:8530/selfupdate/iuident.cab
- https://WSUSserverFQDN:8531/selfupdate/iuident.cab (When SSL Available)
Normally you will download to a file.
If you have access issues, consider performing an IIS check.
Reply back with the results would be happy to help.

Hi Dom,
Thank you for your reply.
As you can see, there is currently no correct Group Policy applied to the client and the WSUS site in IIS also seems to be configured incorrectly. I recommend that you perform a configuration check on the WSUS server from scratch:
- You can refer to Microsoft article for step-by-step check of WSUS configuration steps: "Deploy
Windows Server Update Services".
- You can also consider an article written by some experts and compare it step by step: "WSUS Complete Guide To Install And
Configure WSUS On Windows Server 2019". Although this is an article for the 2019 system, the configuration of 2012 R2 is basically similar to this.
* Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
Please focus on the Group Policy and IIS sections.
Hope the above can help you.

Hello,
For the GPO it is strange as the GPO is for the OU and there are servers in the same OU which are patched with no problem...
1 (not the same OU) 3-4-5-8 are patched and no problem...
6-7-9-10-11 failed!!!
They are on the same subnet, which should exclude the firewall issue.
I even just noticed that 3 for example was okay on 11/25/2019
But is failing today ...
This is inconsistent!!!
Checking the Client side ...
Thanks,
Dom

It can be seen from the registry that you seem to have alternate download server configured. Please consider cancelling this entry and waiting for the client to apply the updated Group Policy before performing the update check.

And I recommend setting the alternative download server
Is the private memory limit in IIS set to the default 1.8GB? You should change that to 4GB. See the bottom of (and may as well read the whole page):
https://www.ajtek.ca/wsus/wsus-system-requirements-what-should-i-plan-for/
From either the WAM Shell if you have WSUS Automated Maintenance (WAM) © installed or an Administrative PowerShell instance run:
Write-Output "Proxy: $(netsh winhttp show proxy))"
Does this look right? Should there be one? should there not be one? (that's network dependent)Have you restarted the WSUS Server? Is the client actually reporting back to WSUS? If not, review and follow the troubleshooting in:

Hi Yic
So far 1,2,3,4,5 are done sucessfully done after multiple attempts.
6,7,8,9,10,11 are planned for next week.
BUT last night I was doing patching on some other servers and sporadically the error 0x80244022 appears.
I applied a set of patches then reboot then check if they were installed --> yes they were
then I click "Check for updates" to confirm there is no more patch pending to be applied for a potential second round and then I got the error.
Thanks,
Dom
