AU policy settings with WSUS MacLeod 6/18/2007 1:03:00 PM I have WSUS 3.0 installed with a test bed of 7 machines. Out of the 7, 2 are reporting 100% complete and all others from 66% up. The client diag tool run from the WSUS server (Win2003 server on Virtual Server 05) shows AU does not have policy set and "UseWuServer is disabled" as FAIL. Running the client diag from a client machines that reports 91% complete, I receive all PASS except this dandy statement VerifyWUServerURL<> failed with hr:0x801901F6 The only thing on the internet I could find from that message deals with machines that have not reported. My clients have, but they don't seem to update. Aside from the two 100% machines, the others have been at their stage of completion for four days without improvement. Any suggestions?

This is because you've not applied a WSUS GPO to the OU containing your WSUS Server. > Running the client diag from a client machines that reports 91% complete, > I > receive all PASS except this dandy statement > > VerifyWUServerURL<> failed with hr:0x801901F6 > The only thing on the internet I could find from that message deals with > machines that have not reported. Actually, what you should have found is that 0x801901F6 is an HTTP '502' error. 0x801901F6 BG E HTTP ERROR 502 The server, while acting as a gateway or proxy to fulfill the request, received an invalid response from the upstream server it accessed. > My clients have, but they don't seem to update. > Aside from the two 100% machines, the others have been at their > stage of completion for four days without improvement. > > Any suggestions? The next step would be to inspect the following: [a] Your actual policy configuration settings [b] The actual registry settings on the client(s) [ at ] HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate [c] The proxy client configuration settings (which would be included in the other 98% of the CDT output you didn't post).
