WSUS Server can't sync with Microsoft Update Server

**M.Scarlet** · 05-02-2008

I don't know why WSUS Server is not able to sync with Microsoft Update Server any more, i have gone through WindowsUpdate.log and i see a lot of warning saying failing with 80072ee2. As far as recent changes is concerned i have recently changed my firewall. Things were working fine before and WSUS Server was able to sync with Microsoft Update Server without any issue. Can this be due to newly installed firewall??

I have checked regrading error code 80072ee2 and have found that it occurs when WSUS Server is not able to receive response from Microsoft Update service. Below were the fix mentioned for dealing with that error:

Make sure Internet Connection Is Working
Disable Your Firewall (Temporarily)
Add Windows Update Server To Your Web’s Trusted List
Try using registry cleaner

Since you have mentioned that you have changed your firewall i will suggest you to Disable it Temporarily and see if things start working out for you one again.
