I've set up WSUS on Windows Server 2012 R2. I changed the http port to 8728. Then I find the following error in the event log:
The WSUS content directory is not accessible.
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 10.24.4.111:8530

It seems some service is still trying to connect to port 8530. Is it mandatory to use 80 or 8530 as the WSUS http port?
