WSUS synchronization needs to download update content from the upstream server or Microsoft Update. Review the Application log for the most recent events from source Windows Server Update Services and event id 10030: Reference Links: Event ID 10032 from Source Windows Server Update Services: Catch threats immediately. Something interesting that I recently uncovered while implementing WSUS with Windows Server 2012 R2 as Software Update Points in Configuration Manager. The WSUS App Pool by default has relatively low Rapid-Fail Protection thresholds. These thresholds were causing the WSUS Web Service to eventually lock-out with HTTP 503.
I had just configured a brand new Windows Server 2012 WSUS Server however a problem was experienced where the server was not downloading updates. It was a freshly deployed WSUS Server which was configured to synchronise against the Microsoft Update Servers. The WSUS Server was performing synchronisations according to the preconfigured schedule, and the synchronisation log was showing that new updates were successfully synchronised.An unexpected error occurred. Click reset server node to try to connect to the server again Event Type: Error Event Source: Windows Server Update Services Event. Once you get the “successfully completed” message open the Server Manager and install the following feature.NET Framework 4.5 Features WCF Services HTTP Activation. This will additionally install the Process Model of Windows Process Activation Service.
Despite this, the WsusContent folder remained empty.
Windows Server: WSUS Administration Console is Unable to Connect to WSUS Server via Remote API. Verify that the Update Services service, IIS and SQL are running on the server. If the problem persists, try restarting IIS, SQL, and the Update Services Service. If this is the case, event ID 2274 (source: IIS-W3SVC-WP) will appear in the. Stack Trace: at Microsoft. Event Id 7032 Windows Server Update Services 2012 Jeep. Today I wanted to check the update status of my VMs. Unfortunately, the WSUS console was unable to connect to the WSUS server. I checked the status of the service. There is 4726 records.
These symptoms are shown in the following screenshot.
The following errors were also experienced in the servers application logs:

After leasing with members of the WSUS team it was discovered a bug existed in Windows Server 2012 when using proxy servers which requires authentication, as per my WSUS deployment.
Microsoft has developed a hotfix for this issue which can be downloaded from the following location. Companies must request the hotfix and Microsoft will email the download link.

Only download this hotfix if you are experiencing the documented issue above.
After you install the hotfix a reboot of the WSUS server is required.
Once the hot fix is installed and the system has been rebooted, you must reset the WSUS content repository. This is because WSUS 'thinks' in the SQL database that all updates have been downloaded when in fact they failed. To do this perform the following steps:
1) Close any open WSUS consoles.
2) Go to Administrative Tools – Services and STOP the Update Services service.
3) In Windows Explorer browse to the WSUSContent folder (typically D:WSUSWSUSContent or C:WSUSWSUSContent)
Windows Server Update Services Connection Error
4) Delete ALL the files and folders in the WSUSContent folder.
5) Go to Administrative Tools – Services and START the Update Services service.
6) Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder: C:Program FilesUpdate ServicesTools.
7) Run the command WSUSUtil.exe RESET
As soon as you run the WSUSUtil.exe reset command, this command takes a while to complete. Unfortunately there is no progress bar or message which lets you know the reset has completed. A handy trick is to monitor the Windows Internal Database SQL Instance for WSUS, this is busy with high CPU activity as it checks every update in the SQL database against the files in the WsusContent folder. As soon as the SQL activity dies down you know the command has completed.
After this perform another sync. You will then notice the WSUS Server begin to download the updates by verifying the WSUSContent directory growing.
