We have had a WSUS 3.2.7600.256 Server up and running years without any real issues. It is running on a Windows 2008 R2 Server and it is patched up to Windows 8/2012 level.
The WSUS Server is tied to an SCCM 2012 R2 server which is handling the list of Classification and Products but not being using to deploy updates to the enterprise, the only update deployment we leverage SCCM for is during image build and capture.
We leverage GPO to assign the servers and clients the WSUS server and we use bits to throttle it during business hours.
Our goal is to move to a GPO that is assigned per site, as such I have deployed some downstream servers which are setup with an SSL connection back to the Main WSUS Server.
The downstream servers are working perfectly while synchronizing up to 99% then they stall and fail the sync with this error:
SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
at Microsoft.UpdateServices.DatabaseAccess.DBConnection.DrainObsoleteConnections(SqlException e) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.DatabaseAccess.DBConnection.ExecuteReader() at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.DataAccess.HideUpdatesForReplicaSync(String xmlUpdateIds) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.CatalogSyncAgentCore.ProcessHiddenUpdates(Guid[] hiddenUpdates) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.CatalogSyncAgentCore.ReplicaSync() at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.CatalogSyncAgentCore.ExecuteSyncProtocol(Boolean allowRedirect)
As a point of troubleshooting have disabled the firewall’s on the Downstream Server and the main WSUS server and well as attempted without SSL, none of this changed the outcome it still dies at 99%. I have currently re-enabled the firewalls and re-established the SSL setup.
I have this issue currently replicate in our test lab, so I can fairly actively attempt things.
All of the Downstream Servers (as well as the WSUS Server) are showing version: 3.2.7600.256
I have tried some attempts to fix this, when I run wsusutil -checkhealth the result in the event log shows:
Event 10022: The last catalog synchronization attempt was unsuccessful.
If I uncheck "This is a replica" in the setup wizard then it works, obviously not the configuration I desire.
I have also Re-indexed using this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939795(v=ws.10).aspx
Any ideas?
