WSUS Approved Updates Failing Download "Michael Senior" <mike[ at ]itxcgc.com> 7/6/2007 2:11:45 AM Hi I have implemented WSUS 3.0 at a clients office and it won't seem to download some of the updates. Most updates have been synced by the server but there is a fair few that say "The files for this update failed to download. The update can be approved but will not be available to computers until the download is complete. Click Rety Download to start the download again." I have tried retrying but nothing happens. the client has a proxy server at their office but i have configured WSUS to work with the proxy otherwise i wouldn't be able to sync the server or the other updates that have downloaded wouldn't be on the server. Any help would be great Regards Michael Senior ITXPERTS Corporate Gold Coast mike[ at ]itxcgc.com
