Logs clearly show it is seeing updates, however it fails with only one single line every time:
Sync failed: The operation has timed out. Source: Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DatabaseAccess.ApiRemotingCompressionProxy.GetWebResponse
From everything I have read, this is related to the WSUS database (SUSDB). I have manually tried cleaning it using wizard (GUI, & Powershell). After hours it eventually times out. All recommendations have been to manually connect to SUSDB using one of
the two methods (after verifying TCP/IP is enabled):
In SQL Mgmt Studio Express, PowerShell or sqlcmd, connect to either server \\.\pipe\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE\sql\query or \\.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query, witrh the second server name the recommendation if the first doesn't wotk (first is 2008 version, second
is 2012) with Windows auth.
I have my SUSDB on a separate server from SCCM which runs 2012 R2 OS. No matter what I do, I continue to get the same "Server is not found or not accessible" error.Obviously, I have to get my sync working so I can begin patching ASAP.
Any thoughts on why cannot successfully clean up WSUS to resolve this issue?
