Hi, Im having trouble with some(not all) updates in the last release I have done. The clients are showing error "WARNING: Download failed, error = 0x80244019", the same as a bunch of other posts I have read. I have checked on the WSUS server and the files specified in the error are missing.
the interesting part of the error messsage:
2013-04-09 14:30:47:166 1144 de0 Handler Windows Patch download for UpdateId = {7682DD09-3EA7-41B9-98FF-50E9A0FBCC92}: selected action is download express (delta).Its trying to download the express delta - I don't have this option configured. In Update Files and Languages, I only have the radio button selected "Store update files locally", and neither of the tick boxes.
However, this server used to have that configured. A couple of months ago I changed it and did a full delete of the WSUSContent folder and wsusutil reset to redownload everything. This worked for 1 patching cycle. But this cycle I am getting that error on about 50% of servers, and about 30% of patches.
I can fix this by deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder from the server and redownloading the patch. but thats going to be a pain on 77 servers and an unknown number of desktops. and Ive read several posts saying deleting its is not a good idea anyway.
I have installed KB2734608.
Any hints on a nicer way to fix this? or is there a way to delete pending updates, so its like the client never downloaded them?
Thanks
Aimee
