Computer stop communicating Warren 6/18/2007 1:28:02 PM Hello, I am using WSUS 2.0 on a Windows 2000 server. One of the computers connected to the server stop communicating with the server. It was working fine then I went in and did a checkup and the computer has not communicated in 30 days? The computer is running Windows XP with 3.0 update agent. Any ideas as to why it would just stop like that? Thanks Warren

Re: Computer stop communicating Warren 6/18/2007 6:07:03 PM Thank you for you reply Lawrence, I ran the diagnostic tool and it said everything passed but there was a error message. VerifyWUServerURL() failed with hr=0x80072ee6 The URL does not use a recognized protocol If you still need me to post the the WindowsUpdate.log I can do that but it is fairly lengthly.

It's about 30 lines long, and it's been posted here a gazillion times over the past two years. It's the primary diagnostic tool for client side diagnostics, and quite often misinterpreted. And, when not misinterpreted, almost always the information "left out" (Like, in this case, the configured URL) contains the rest of the information to provide a definitive solution to the reported problem. -- 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 .....
