—26\/01\/07 Correction to the post. It should read TICK the box instead of Clear— <\/p>\n

Back in the office today after a week on holiday. Work was so mad up until i left i didn’t get a chance to post much<\/p>\n

I did mention in my last post<\/a> that i had a problem getting WSUS clients to update.<\/p>\n

I finally figured it out!<\/p>\n

I had another look through the event log and found the following:<\/p>\n

Event ID: 364     Source: Windows Server Update     Category: Synchronization<\/p>\n

Content file download failed. Reason: The server does not support the necessary HTTP protocol. Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) requires that the server support the Range protocol header.<\/font>Source File: \/msdownload\/update\/v5\/eula\/officexpeula_fin.txt Destination File: e:\\WSUS\\WsusContent\\115D075903CAA57C6F0A64061A2C596B8C601C311.txt.
\n<\/font>
\nThe sync hadn’t downloaded the files for the updates. The reason i didn’t spot it before was my lack of understanding about WSUS. Since i could see all the updates in the console i initially dismissed this error. Turns out it downloads the details first (the definitions if you will) and then the actual files later.<\/p>\n

After a little research it was the Sonicwall firewall that was giving me the problem.<\/p>\n

To fix it i did the following<\/p>\n

Login to the Sonicwall management webpage<\/p>\n

Alter the URL so that you can get at the internal settings..e.g   http:\/\/192.168.0.1\/diag.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Find <\/strong>the “Enable HTTP Byte-Range request with Gateway AV” <\/strong>option and TICK <\/u>the box (i initially was a little sceptical about this as we dont use the Gateway AV feature)<\/p>\n

Click APPLY (I didn’t reboot the firewall but it might be a good idea to.)<\/p>\n

After this the sync started working fine and the clients started installing updates as they were supposed to<\/p>\n

I was annoyed that i had spent so much time trying to figure this one out but i was pleased that i managed to learn just about everything i’ll ever need to know about WSUS (until version 3!)<\/p>\n

There is also a Microsoft Knowledgebase article on this. KB922330<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
