Hello all,

I installed WSUS in a custom port - 8530 as I have other software using port
80 in IIS. I imported my clients from AD into their proper groups in WSUS,
from a prompt where WSUS is installed I type --- wuauclt.exe /detectnow.

Below is the message I get -----

I found a document to create a new virtual directory, not in the default web
site, but I created in the WSUS site, stopped IIS, re-tried the command, and
same error.

Can someone help why my clients are not reporting to WSUS ?

Thanks,
Bob

You haven't told your clients this:

>> 2008-09-23 15:44:49:889 860 1450 Misc WARNING: DownloadFileInternal failed
>> for http://intranet1/selfupdate/wuident.cab: error 0x80190194

Note http://intranet1, not http://intranet1:8530.

If you used group policy to assign the clients to WSUS, you need to update it
accordingly.

Your group policy currently says that clients should use http://intranet1 as the
WSUS server. You need to change this to tell them to use http://intranet1:8530.

Ok --- adding the port helped. I imported 2 of 3 groups - test and servers.
The clients/servers show their IP addresses and OS versions. But i have one
problem ----

All of the systems show ---- last report status - not yet reported.

I did my last change 2 days ago - Wednesday, and it should report in daily.
I did gpupdate /force on the DC, and wuauclt.exe /detectnow but the clients
are not reporting in. I take that back ---- only my computer reported in, and
that was Wednesday. Can you let me know why computers are not reporting in ?

Thanks,

Let's start with the Client Diagnostics Tool:

<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/wsus/bb466192.aspx>

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/wsus/bb466192.aspx

Run it on one of the affected clients and post the results. Then type

wuauclt /detectnow

on the same client, wait thirty minutes, then post the last fifty lines from
WindowsUpdate.log.

Hokay. See what happens if you point a web browser at that URL. I expect
you'll get a 404 error, in which case the selfupdate tree is missing. This post
may help:

I did setup a new virtual directory in WSUS in IIS, called it selfupdate,
left the permission to the default - read, stopped/restarted IIS, ran wuauclt
/detectnow and still did not work. Please see the log below --

Bob

I reviewed the Google article from Harry posted 9/30/08 1:39 PM.

In IIS my web site - WSUS, I mentioned i created a new virtual directory,
but found the following ---- in the path I have c:\program files\update
services ----- that is it - no selfupdate folder. I go to the directlry and
selfupdate does not exist, and the file --- wuident.cab does not exist either
in the mentioned path.

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Hokay. See what happens if you point a web browser at that URL. I expect
you'll get a 404 error, in which case the selfupdate tree is missing. This
post

I did try to point my web browser and access the URL and I did get a 404
error.

I also followed the Google groups information, however - there is no
wuident.cab file in the selfupdate folder.

I searched for wuident.cab and it's in the following locations --
c:\windows\software distribution\websetup
c:\windows\software distribution\selfupdate\default

Just to make sure I'm not missing anything -- the wuident.cab "must" be in
the selfupdate folder correct ? My path in selfupdate is - c:\program
files\update services\selfupdate

I re-ran the wuauclt /detectnow command from my desktop - after restart IIS,
still getting the complaint pointing to the cab file, please see below ---

Hi

I had the exact problem a few weeks ago. The problem was (is) service pack
for Office 2003. Maybee this link will help you:

Hi Harry,

I read the support article - kb920659.

Selfupdate.msi does not exist on my server, I also followed thru the article
and no luck. The article did mention port 80, I'm not using port 80 i setup a
custom web site as I use IIS for other applications.

I did create a "new virtual directory" SelfUpdate previously, not virtual
directory(from file). When I click on the drop down in selfupdate virtual
directory, I get - there are no items to be shown.

Do you believe I should uninstall WSUS, maybe install on a differnet server
? anyone run WSUS on a DC ?

Thanks,
Bob

That's not a good sign.

Yes, I think so.

I think it would be OK to try reinstalling on the same server first.

> ? anyone run WSUS on a DC ?

Not considered best practice, but it does work.

about SP1 - good idea to install it, as I read about it causing problems ?

I'm not sure about this one. I think if the uninstall doesn't produce any error
messages, anything that has been left behind shouldn't cause problems.

> How about SP1 - good idea to install it, as I read about it causing problems ?

I'd stick with it, at least for now. (I'm not sure you've got a choice, I don't
recall offhand whether the RTM version is still available for download.)

I downloaded WSUS 3 SP1 off the WSUS home page as the version i previously

I uninstalled my previous version, removed all logs/downloads, etc... I

Then I installed to a custom port 8530, after the install I went to IIS,
websites, WSUS Administration, opened it and I don't see "Selfupdate". I
remember previously that past articles said to install a new virtual

Selfupdate does not exist in IIS ?


Also -- I searched my volumes and there is no selfupdate.msi


I checked the following path and found ----


c:\program files\updateservices\selfupdate ---- inside the selfupdate folder
I have --

Can I be guided as to my status here, is there still a problem with no

Yes. At least this time the folder it needs to point to is present.

Is there a folder c:\Program Files\Update Services\Setup? That's where
Selfupdate.msi ought to be.

Hello all,

I have same problem. My WSUS server crashed, so I reinstalled it on a new
server and named that server the same as the old one. all my clients show up
after i brought the new server up, but 99% of them say "not reported yet".
