Update files won't download Pappy <sodapopsalot[ at ]gmail.com> 6/12/2007 1:36:14 PM I have recently installed WSUS 3.0 on my network, and I am really anxious to use it, but all of the updates either say that they have not downloaded the update files yet, or that the download failed. If it try to re-download any of the updates, I get the same outcome. No update files will or ever have downloaded. I just installed the server last week, and upon initial synchronozation, I have received the same messages. WSUS was installed on a W2K3R2 server that runs SQL 2005.

First step is to look in the Application Event Log for reasons for the download failures. Next step is to identify the firewall and/or proxy server(s) involved in the network, because those devices are the number one cause of download failures with WSUS server. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....
