WSUS 3.0 MS Server Sync Failure Jeff Banning 6/29/2007 10:46:02 PM I am having problems syncing with the MS servers. WSUS 3.0 only successfully syncs 1 every 10 times. I am not connecting through a proxy server and it had been working before I upgraded to WSUS 3.0. Has anyone else had any errors like this. Error Details: WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream() 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)

I am not connecting through a proxy server Well, you may not have a proxy server, but it looks like something thinks it's a proxy server... and it's that "something" that's denying access. > WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> > System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> because the target machine actively refused it Either that, or, since synchronization requires SSL, there might be something messed up in your SSL.

Re: WSUS 3.0 MS Server Sync Failure Jeff Banning 7/2/2007 5:12:01 AM It seems as though a a change in a downstream firewall was the culprit. Once that got opened up the syncs starting working. THanks for the response.
