    Clients not downloading patches

    First let me apologize for the length but wanted to include as much info as possible.
    I installed a new WSUS server version 3.2 running on Server 2008 R2 SP1 64bit. This server does not have Internet capability so I exported using wsusutil from a server that does, copied the WSUSContent folder and then imported to this server. This worked great.
    Setup group policies for clients to Auto download and notify for install.
    Applied policies and clients appeared in assigned computer groups.
    Clients also downloaded patches.
    I installed the downloaded patches.
    Now the clients will not download any more approved patches. WSUS console is reporting the clients need patches but clients won't download.
    Clients are running XP or Windows 2003 Server
    These clients were configured to to get patches from the server I exported from but due to regulations I am required to remove all IE access. So switched them to the new server.

    I have begun troubleshooting with one client (Windows 2003 Server SP2 domain controller) I ran the client diagnotistic tool

    Things I have tried
    1. Stopped Update service, Removed SUSClientID and Validation from registry, started Updated service, ran wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow client reports but will not download patches.
    2. Stopped update service, removed Software Distribution folder, restarted service, ran wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow client reports but will not download patches
    3. Removing client from WSUS and running wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow client reappears in console but will not download patches.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Re: Clients not downloading patches

    What you can do is, in distribution point properties enable "Allow clients to connect anonymously (Required for mobile device clients)". This should fix your problem.

    Re: Clients not downloading patches

    Thanks for the reply. I think I may have discovered the issue. The patches were not downloaded. Some of the patches were ones that were previously downloaded. I'm not sure I understand what happened but after downloading patches, it seems to be working. I will have to try an update again and see what I am missing.
