I just enabled and configured the WSUS role on a new Server 2012 installation and after synchronizing with Microsoft and approving some updates, I see that none of them are being downloaded. I look in the event log and get something similar to this for each update I've approved. I have looked around on the Internet and most of the entries I find say something about a proxy server being configured wrong. We do not have a proxy server for this network and the only firewall we have is between our router and the Internet. In other words, the firewall does not interfere with anything on our intranet. I've stood up many WSUS servers on Windows 2008 R2 platforms and have never had this problem. I would appreciate anyone who can help with this.
