I have installed Windows 2012 R2 on a machine with 8 GB of memory and have activated the WSUS role. I have successfully built the WSUS database with the updates that I would like to push out to Windows 7 client machines. I have set up a LAN that both the WSUS server and the clients are connected to. Each client has a registry hack that points it to the WSUS server. When I try to update a client it will successfully communicate with the WSUS server and inform me, via Windows update, that it needs x number of updates but when I try to have the client download and install those updates I get aWindowsUpdate error 80244020 on the client. According to Microsoft that error is like anHTTP 500 error - the server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. Can anyone assist me in figuring out what the problem is. I am using the port 8530 and that is what the client is listening on. I also have configured the server firewall to allow traffic on that port.
I used to run WSUS under Windows 2003 server with NO problems at all. It has only been since I tried to use Windows 2012 R2 and WSUS that I am now having a problem which I DESPERATELY need to fix.
Thank you in advance!!!!
