Error -102

[doug]

Could you provide me with the HRESULT code? You’ll find this in the error.log file in the remote working directory on a server that has thrown the -102 error.

Thanks,

Doug

Has anything at all on your wsus server changed? Does the windowsupdate.log file have anything that’s might indicate a cause? If you manually install updates on one of the problem systems and reboot, do you still see the same behavior in BP? I’m not quite sure what to make of this problem. You should be able to figure out if the issue is on the clients or on the Wsus by temporarily pointing a client to a different wsus or to Microsft update, and then see what happens with BP. Also, if you do “install downloaded updates” even if there are no updates downloaded, does this throw an error? I predict it won’t because the client will not do a search on the wsus in that case and will only scan the actual client to see if it has any updates downloaded. This points to a problem or config issue of some kind on the wsus.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

Something became corrupt in the IIS configuration on our WSUS server. We couldn’t get it fixed so we rebuilt the machine. Things are working fine now. One thing to note, after doing a vanilla WSUS SP2 install we had to install KB2734608 to get it working.

Thanks for sharing! Glad you got it working.
