0x80072efe - ERROR INTERNET CONNECTION ABORTED

Most likely, the proxy server 'fw1' is interfering with your access to the
WSUS server.

I notice that IE is configured to use 'fw1:8080' for the proxy server, but
<local> is bypassed (though I'm concerned about the 'ids' in front of
<local>).

However, WinHTTP is configured to use 'fw1' (note the missing port
identifier), and there is no local bypass for WinHTTP.

I'll be that the WUA on this system is trying to talk to a proxy server on
port 80 of 'fw1' and the proxy server is not responding.

If you're bypassing local resources for the proxy server, then the best
solution is to put WinHTTP in DIRECT mode using the command:
proxycfg -d

Othewise clone your working IE proxy configuration to WinHTTP using the
command:
proxycfg -u

(Be sure to verify that your IE proxy configuration is actually working,
however, given my comment about thte 'ids<local>' string.)

If you could please post the actual and complete output from the Client
Diagnostic Tool, I can provide a more accurate response.

In addition, since this is your first time using WSUS, I would direct you to
this document to be sure you've correctly installed and configured all that
is required.

Truly.. this is not the *exact* and *complete* output of the Client
Diagnostic Tool.

Generally when you're asked for diagnostic information, we'd like to see an
*exact* copy of that output (i.e. use Copy and Paste -- don't retype what
you see on the screen). As an example to make that point -- while it's not
critical here -- you mistyped the error code below 'hr=080072ee7'. Luckily,
I'm able to interpret it correctly, but imagine what challenges would have
caused if you'd missed the '7' or the '2' or the 'e' instead of the 'x'?


> checking connectio to WSUS/SUS Server
> WUServer = http://kit-svr-old/
> WUStatusServer = http://kit-srv-old/

> VerifyWUServerURL() failed with hr=080072ee7

*THIS* is the part that matters, though... and, I note, is *DIFFERENT* from
what you posted in your original post:

> VerifyWUServerURL() failed with hr=0x80190193
> HTTP 403: the client does not have suficient permissions to access the
> server

Is this all from the same computer?


In any event, the 0x80072ee7 is an "Internet Name Not Resolved" error and
results from one of these causes:

1. The hostname 'kit-srv-old' is not registered in your DNS Server(s).

2. The DNS Server(s) are offline.

3. The client machine has no connectivity to the DNS Server(s).

4. The client machine is configured to use the incorrect (or nonexistent)
DNS Server(s).

5. The client machine's DNS Suffix is improperly configured.

and a few other more esoteric reasons if none of the above apply.

Also, I would recommend removing the trailing slash from the URL, it should
be just http://kit-srv-old

0x80072efe is a Connection Aborted error.

So now you've provided me output from the same computer with *THREE*
different errors.

Obviously something else in your enviroment is in a volatile state, or we'd
be getting the same errors each time.

Please post the ACTUAL and COMPLETE output of the Client Diagnostic Tool. I
*cannot* (and will not) invest time in diagnosing partial output. Everytime
I have mistakenly done so in the past it's resulted in a *BAD* diagnosis
because unsupplied information changes the context of the diagnosis.
