Have you configured the Windows 2008 firewall to permit egress for HTTP
(port 80)?

Turned it off completely with no change Lawrence. I can run a portquery to
check connectivity as they are on different subnets and while there
shouldn't be any external firewall restrictions, it wouldn't surprise me.
May not be able to check this until next week.

We definitely need to explore this "different subnets" scenario. If they're
on different subnets then something has to be routing traffic between those
two subnets. Whatever it is, make sure it also does not have any
restrictions on HTTP(S) traffic.

No problem. I'm here when you can get to it.

Sorry for the delay Lawrence. I finnaly got around to verify it. Ping,
portqry, and telnet confirm basic connectivity and TCP port 80 to the WSUS
server. One of these 2008 servers is running server core but the clientdiag
provides the same details.

Okay... first thing to clear up... I missed an important diagnostic point in
your original post:

> Two brand new Server 2008 SP2 64 bit servers group policy configured to a
> wsus 3.0 sp1 working fine for other 2003 servers and XP clients. Both 2008

The Client Diagnostic Tool is a 32-bit only tool. The error you received on
these two servers:

> GetFileVersion(szEngineDir,&susVersion) failed with hr=0x80070002

is a manifestation of attempting to run this 32-bit tool on a 64-bit system.

Of course, I did focus on the WindowsUpdate.log errors, not the CDT error,
so our interest in identifying the cause of the HTTP 403 errors in the
logfile is still our primary interest.

The other thing we need to keep in mind is that the WUAgent uses WinHTTP, so
many standard diagnostic methodologies may not show up issues exclusive to
WinHTTP.

Let's see what we get from the WinHTTP proxy configuration on the machine:

Please run this command: NETSH WINHTTP SHOW PROXY

Ah, good to know. (any expectation of a 64 bit version someday soon?)

I've suggested to TPTB that the tool needs to be distributed in a 64-bit
version.

We'll see . . .

Okay.. so the machine (WinHTTP) is not configured to use a proxy server.

Have we confirmed that there are *no* proxy or proxy-like devices sitting
between this machine and the WSUS Server?

If you attempt to do a detection from this machine, what is logged in the
IIS logs of the WSUS Server?

I don't see much, but then logging is at default level. (This is from one of
the trouble children but seems to be consistent with the rest)

Specifically, an HTTP 403.6 error... caused by a blocked IP source address.

Ah! Not allowing Localhost access to IIS maybe only the specific host IP.

That seems to be it. Waiting for them to report back. Thanks Lawrence.

Is there a connect bug / feedback for clientdiag x64? I'd be happy to vote
on it or open one.

There is not, to my knowledge.

I'm lobbying directly to the WSUS/WUA product team for two updates in the
product.

[1] 64-bit compilation
[2] updated awareness of the v7 WUAgent

Opening an issue in the WSUS3SP2 Connect Site, though, can't hurt.

Yes... v7.x WUAgent awareness was the #2 item on my list of needed
'updates'.

What am I missing on Connect. I thought I would vote for this but although I can
download WSUS 3 RC2 when I click "Feedback" I just get taken to the Welcome
page.

I hope I filed it on the right connect page;
https://connect.microsoft.com/site/sitehome.aspx?SiteID=110

Under feedback and if you scroll down a ways you should see the submissions.
This is a little different than other connect product pages.

I think this will take you there direct.

Ta, It did not occur to me that the feedback page would be identical to the home
page except for the white space followed by the actual feedback stuff. Not a
brilliant page design in my opinion.

Supporting comment added but I don't see any voting system in the feedback page,
is this done via "rating"

It surprises me how many variances there are with the different product
groups and their connect pages.

I believe only the rating and validations are available for this
'suggestion' at present. Thanks for adding the comment.

Lawrence I am have similar issues as KJ was at the top of this post. I recently rebuilt the WSUS server at a new Job and began approving updates. When I am logged in using a domain account I see nothing, if I log in as the local admin the updates are there and I can apply them. I have just now run the "wuauclt /detectnow" command and will post the results shortly. I am very confused, I have rebuilt the GPO I use for WSUS twice already and do not know where to go next. I hope you can help me.
