We have one WSUS Upstream Server (Central) configured to stream with Microsoft Updates Server and 2 Downstream Servers (Primary Servers) connected to the Upstream Server.

The Upstream Server Synchronization succeeded with Microsoft Updates Server, but both the downstream Servers getting synchronization failed with the below error message.

WSUS Synchronization Failed with the error "The upstream server experienced an unexpected error. Please try again at a later time."

Details:

InvalidOperationException:    at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)

   at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters)

   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSyncWebServices.ServerSync.ServerSyncProxy.GetAuthConfig()

   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.ServerSyncLib.InternetGetServerAuthConfig(ServerSyncProxy proxy, WebServiceCommunicationHelper webServiceHelper)

   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.ServerSyncLib.Authenticate(AuthorizationManager authorizationManager, Boolean checkExpiration, ServerSyncProxy proxy, Cookie cookie, WebServiceCommunicationHelper webServiceHelper)

   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.CatalogSyncAgentCore.SyncConfigUpdatesFromUSS()

   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.CatalogSyncAgentCore.ExecuteSyncProtocol(Boolean allowRedirect)

We tried the below but no luck,

1) Restarted WSUS, IIS services in Upstream Server.

2) Verified the credentials and WSUS folders access settings and found fine.

Can someone support on this to fix this WSUS downstream server sync failed issue ?

Thanks,

Is Windows 2019 WSUS viable?

I'm still in the process to replace my well working (more or less) Windows 2008 R2 WSUS with new installation of Windows 2019 WSUS and still not able to get a viable system. I'm running from error to error and sometimes the mmc suddenly stops working. It takes hours to get a new client noticed by WSUS. And even after some days none of the client have reported yet.

Does anybody have a satisfying WSUS running?

Best Practice to clean up WSUS content no longer needed

October 17, 2011, 11:47 am
$
0
0

I have been researching this for days and probably have about 10 hours invested in trying to come to a conclusion and now want some feedback from this group. Below you will find everything I think you might need about my current configuration. I originally installed my first WSUS server in 2006.Over the years I added new products as needed, changed to express files (seems to have been a bad decision), unselected products no longer needed, and when version 3 came out began running the cleanup wizard monthly. I have never declined any updates myself and only approved those showing as needed. I watched my content grow to about 65 GB then decided to migrate to a new server. I followed this procedure which worked very well:

http://exchangeserverpro.com/how-to-move-wsus-30-to-a-new-server

After the migration I tested a round of updates and everything was working fine. Then I added Windows Server 2008 (only have one server with this OS) and SQL Server 2008 R2 (only have one server with this OS) products and was amazed when my content went up to over 100 GB. I decided to remove those two products since only one server needs them and I could update it direct from MS instead thinking it would be easy to recover the space. Was I in for a surprise. No real easy way to do that. From my research these seem to be the options to do a good clean up on all unneeded content. What do you suggest as the best way for me to proceed?

Option 1: uninstall and re-install fresh

Option 2: reset the content following this procedure:

http://blogs.technet.com/b/gborger/archive/2009/02/27/what-to-do-when-your-wsuscontent-folder-grows-too-large.aspx

Option 3: reset the content following this procedure: (I tested this on my old server and steps 1-4 took about 90 minutes)

1. Decline all previously approved updates. (Yes, all of them. Even the ones you want.)
2. Run the cleanup wizard -- this will remove files in the WsusContent folder.
3. Change the approval of all DECLINED updates from declined to "Not Approved" (and apply inheritance).
4. Run the cleanup wizard again -- this will decline all expired updates.
5. Re-approve needed updates. Content will be re-downloaded.

I do plan to remove the express files option first to reduce the amount of space needed for storage. If you see anything else in my config that should be tweaked please let me know. Thanks for any and all feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and respond.

My configuration follows:

1 Gbps switched network infrastructure with 10/10 fiber internet access

WSUS – current environment – 1 physical server also used as a file share server for user files

Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (x86)

Dual Intel Xeon 2.8 Ghz

2 GB Ram

1 Gbps Nic

136 GB hard drive for DB and WSUS Content files (currently DB=1.5 GB, Content = 108 GB)

WSUS Server version: 3.2.7600.226

Using the Windows Internal Database (I do have a SQL Server 2008 R2 server available now)

128 Computers in 13 groups manually assigned but computers are directed to this server via GP

(all Servers and 90% of workstations are current on updates through last month)

3189 Updates installed/NA

139 Updates needed

919 Updates with no status

Configuration options:

Update source – Microsoft

Products – Office 2003, Office 2010, Windows 7, Windows Defender, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows XP (previously selected but no longer needed: Office 2002/XP, SQL Server 2008 R2, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2008)

Classifications – critical, definition, security, service packs, update rollups, updates

Update files and languages – store locally, download only when approved, download express installation files, English

Automatic approvals – above classifications for test group which includes one computer with each of the following OS’s: Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows XP

After those machines are tested then I approve and install needed updates for the server group (8 machines total) which include Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows XP

After those machines are tested then I approve needed updates for all computers and let the users install them

WSUS and Driver updated - Windows DCH

I am noticing that Intel and other manufacturer's are now recommending you get all of your driver updates via Windows updates.

I am reading that this can cause some issues on WSUS and client machines.

Most of the articles I am reading are a year old or older.

Does anyone have any experience with approving driver updates on WSUS and setting them to automatic approval.

I currently have over 30 different model machines and all different manufacturer's.

Thanks

Server 2019, WSUS MMC Snap-in: Increase timeout?

March 19, 2019, 1:29 am
$
0
0

I have a brand new Windows 2019 running a basic WSUS install in a virtual machine with two Xeon 3.5 ghz vCPUs, 8 gig of memory.

It is a fully default WSUS install using the Windows Internal Database SQL server, and the default language and product options. I ran the synchronization. Nothing has been approved, no computers are joined. Everything is working normally.

I am unable to view the synchronization status because the Windows Internal Database SQL engine is taking too long to respond to the MMC snap-in.

How can the snap-in timeout be increased? I have thoroughly searched C:\Program Files\Update Services and I can not find any MMC configuration files where there is a timeout option that can be adjusted.

WSUS for Windows Server 2019 appears to be broken as designed.

,

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open WSUS MMC management snap-in. Open Task Manager, says 0-5% CPU load.

2. Click on Synchronizations in WSUS MMC.

3. It says at bottom "Loading synchronization history, 0% complete"

4. Windows task manager suddenly shows 50% CPU usage across the two vCPU's (really, just 100% load for 1 CPU).

5. After about 5 minutes pass, the MMC snap-in is unhappy and claims it can't reach WSUS. Task manager continues to show 50% CPU usage across the two vCPU's for several more minutes by SQLServr.exe.

6. WID-SQL server eventually finishes whatever it was doing, and Task Manager drops to about 0-5% system load.

7. Can't do anything with the MMC after the internal database has stopped chugging along for 7-10 minutes now. The only option available is to "Reset Server Node," which discards anything that has been retrieved so far. 

8. Go back to Step 2 and do this all over again several more times. No change.

9. Stop VM, increase memory from 8 gb to 16 gb, start VM. This memory increase has no effect. The WSUS MMC still times out trying to load the synchronization history.

,

Is there any way to increase the Server 2019 WSUS MMC snap-in timeout, or am I being indirectly forced by Microsoft to buy a full license for Microsoft SQL Server, because the Windows internal database is too slow and low performance, to respond to the MMC snap-in within 5 minutes?

in this Windows Update History Survey

number 6, monthly rollup updates is mentioned separately from security updates.

but if you look at WSUS' classification tab, there is no way to select monthly rollup updates.

looks like the survey itself needs a survey on correctness.

I wanted to try out a test 2019 WSUS server. Everything seemed to go smoothly, however when I go look at All Computers, I get a system node crash.

I looked at the possibility of it being the same as the bad BIOS name, but I do not seem to see any errors.

The error is as follows:

The WSUS administration console has encountered an unexpected error. This may be a transient error; try restarting the administration console. If this error persists, 

Try removing the persisted preferences for the console by deleting the wsus file under %appdata%\Microsoft\MMC\.

Below is the application that explains this. Can you advise where I can download this hotfix for the OS needed as I cannot find it when doing a google search.

KB4490128 is Classified as an Update Rollup in WSUS (this is a DST update). WSUS says all of my machines need it. If I go straight to Microsoft Update it says I don't need it. My machines have the March Security Monthly Quality Rollup installed, I assume an Update Rollup is included in Security Monthly quality rollup and therefore I can just decline?

WSUS says my clients and servers need either KB4489488 and KB4489486 (.NET), depending on the OS. WSUS lists these as "Updates". However, if I go straight to Microsoft Update it says I don't need it, it isn't listed as an option update either. I am struggling to figure Microsoft out. I can't tell if this is a WSUS issue (don't think so).
