Asked by:
Windows 10 Clients not reporting on Server 2012 R2 WSUS

Question
-
Hello Community,
I know this question has been asked a million times, but I have not found a solution in all my attempts following everyone else's listed fixes.
Problem: I have (3) windows 10 clients that refuse to update from a new WSUS installation on server 2012R2.
-The three clients are (1) creators edition, and (2) anniversary edition machines.
-They also work perfectly with my existing Server 2012 WSUS installation.
WSUS server (Server 2012R2)
-I have confirmed that KB3095113 and KB3159706 are installed.
-I have followed the manual steps for 3159706 (running the post install /servicing and installing HTTP activiation)
-The WSUS server will update itself and another server 2012R2. WSUS appears to be working for non-windows10 machines.
-I currently have firewall disabled
-I have confirmed that I can access 'http://c3-carm-sec.<FQDN>:8530/ClientWebService/client.asmx' and that it displays the XML files on the windows 10 machine that is having problems.
-I have used Adamj's CLean-WSUS script to perform some maintenance tasks as others have suggested it magically fixed their issues.
-I am using an external database (SUSDB lives on a SQL server). This is also the case with the correctly functioning server 2012 WSUS installation. They are not the same name since you can't do that.
-I have installed windows server 2012R2 a few times and WSUS a few more times thinking it might have been a corrupted installation, nothing has worked
-There is no AV software installed until this is resolved.
Windows 10 Clients (both Aniv. and Creators)
-They work perfectly with my existing Server 2012 WSUS installation
-I have tried the suggested client reset tasks (stopping service, clearing out software distribution folder, removing SUSID from registry, etc)
-They both currently say 'not yet reported' under status
-I'll include the windows update log for then in a second post
-Client error is 0x8024401c
I am out of ideas and need further troubleshooting guidance. If they work perfect on the other WSUS installation, I don't see how the clients are the issue. I can't seem to get the 2012R2 to work correctly.

I don't understand the communication error. As stated above, I can get the client to view the XML files, there is no firewall blocking communication.

Set the 3rd entry, make sure the new entry is in the registry from the

Set the intranet update service for detecting updates: http://c3-carm-sec:8530 Set the intranet statistics server: http://c3-carm-sec:8530 Set the alternate download server: http://c3-carm-sec.<FQDN>:8530 Download files with no Url in the metadata if alternate download server is set. Enabled
Here's current GPO setting. I've previously used FQDN in all positions, but changed it to host:port in this testing.
After gpupdate, confirming changes taken with resultant policy and registry, still error remains.

Did you restart the whole systems? And delete
%windir%\Softwaredistribution at this clients. Restart and try again.

Hello SFC,
The error means that the server timed out for the request.
This issue has been introduced in the following blog article, and it's mainly driven by the Windows 10 1607 updates. These updates have large metadata payloads for the dependent (child) packages because they roll up a large number of binaries. For large metadata packages and many simultaneous requests, it can take longer than ASP.NET’s default timeout time.
You can adopt the solutions in the article to fix this issue.
Best regards,
Andy Liu

As for my script - a) are you using the latest 3.1? Try re-downloading it and re-running -FirstRun.
b) Are you sure the script ran successfully? on the log, do you see numbers beside each of the line items (they can be and most likely will be 0's) of the server cleanup wizard output (not just the last 2)?
If not, re-run -FirstRun. Also look for errors in the logs.
I'd be surprised if my script didn't fix your issue (along with the below).
If my script ran successfully, run the following on the affected client machines from an Admin command prompt.
net stop bits net stop wuauserv reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v AccountDomainSid /f reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v PingID /f reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientId /f reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate" /v SusClientIDValidation /f rd /s /q "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution" net start bits net start wuauserv wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
