    WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool error 0x80072efe

    I am using a Windows 2000 server. I had upgraded that to SP4. It is the only DC, but somhow I cannot see that in WSUS list. It is weird. All other systems are connected and well detected but it is not visible in WSUS Server list. I had tried to do a manual check but still the same issue. I had also verified the same through client diagnostic tool but there is no error at all. I had gone through this newsgroup and there are number of solutions which were mentioned but none of them are working. I had recently updated the system and added SP4 and due to that it looks things are screwed up. But when I go on Windows update site manually things are fine.

    There is bug in WSUS. Whenever there are new settings applied this error appears and there is no way you can resolve that. You will need to roll back the old settings and then only it works. And this type of error basically error when you are behind a proxy. You must be directly connected to internet. I got the error on Windows server while on proxy and when the system was directly connected there was no issue at all.

    I know this post is old but I'm hoping someone can still help me. I have about 60 clients in my network and only 31 are showing up in WSUS. I ran the WSUS Client Diagnostics Tool and the results are all the same.

    VerifyWUServerURL<> failed with hr=0x800672efe

    The connection with the server was terminated abnormally



    We don't use a proxy server and all the computers are generally configured the same. Why would half of them register on WSUS and not the other half?

    Hi TerryG,

    Are you able to run the SCE console on a remote terminal? Are you able to navigate to any web service or application hosted on that same server? I think that you may have something blocking your inbound ports on the SCE server itself. Presuming that 'FQDN' was your way of masking an internal server, the configuration looks correct. Also try to change the GPO from

    http://server.domain.com:8530 or something else
    to
    http://server.domain.com
