I have an autonomous downstream Windows 2016 WSUS server. It is getting its updates from a Windows 2008 upstream server. I that this local 2016 WSUS server is synchronized with the upstream WSUS server. I see the updates out there and see that I have to approve them.
I can't get this 2016 downstream server to run Windows Updates When checking for updates I get the following error: We couldn't connect to the update service. We'll try again later or you can check now. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're connected to the Internet.
This server is in an isolated network and gets it updates from the other WSUS server. I ran a PS script that shows the following:
Name IsDefaultAUService
---- ------------------
Windows Server Update Service False
Windows Update True
WSUS version is 10.0.143.93.0. This is a new install from about a month ago and it is also a DC.
Is there a setting I need to change?
Thanks in advance.
