Recently we installed our first Windows Server 2012 R2 machines. They connect to WSUS replicas which are installed on Windows Server 2008 R2. All WSUS servers have KB2734608 and KB2720211 since they came out. I noticed the following errors in WindowsUpdate.log which I think are the root cause, why they can't update (replaced senstive information with ...):

How can I get rid of the issue??
