WSUS Error

[karldenton]

I have a few machines that manage to say updates are ready but as soon as you install they all say failed.

 

Part of windowsupdate.log file is:

 

WARNING: GetFileLocations failure, error = 0x8024400D, soap client error = 7, soap error code = 300, HTTP status code = 200

2009-02-18 10:29:02:232 1092 a20 PT WARNING: SOAP Fault: 0x00012c

Same error for every update in log

 

Thanks

This looks like it describes your problem. Either IIS6 is playing up or the WU client requires re-installing.

Are these Vista / 2008 Machines?

 

We had something similar (cant remember the exact error code now) which was caused by corrupted downloads of the updates.

 

I had to download the corrupted updates, unpack them and manually copy the files into the windows\serviceing\packages directory to fix it.

Will probably try re-install of WSUS Client on those machines as there is only 2 - the rest work fine.

Its XP/2003
