How to setup SUP on remote server to download updates. HttpSendRequest failed 12029

Question

Hi,

I have SCCM server without internet connection and a remote WSUS server with internet connection, SUP installed and synchronizing from Microsoft update. When I try to download updates from the software updates in sccm console I get the below error:

• Proxy is enabled for download, using registry settings or defaults.
• Connecting - Adding file range by calling HttpAddRequestHeaders, range string = "Range: bytes=0-"
• HttpSendRequest failed 12029, can still rety for 3 times
• HttpSendRequest failed 12029, can still rety for 2 times
• HttpSendRequest failed 12029, can still rety for 1 times
• HttpSendRequest failed 12029

When I give the SCCM serve internet connection , the download succeeds because it is being downloaded on the sccm server that has internet access. My question is that, is it possible to configure the SCCM server without internet and let it download updates using the wsus server which has internet access? Since the WSUS server has SUP installed can't it handle the download in that server (wsus-server), why does the software updates download occurs in the sccm server? And can anyone inform me how to properly setup SCCM with remote WSUS?

Answer 1

You can run the ConfigMgr console from your WSUS server, then it will download the SU via WSUS server. But if you are asking can ADR do it? No, you will need to allow for proxy traffic.

Answer 2

It would need internet access every time it runs the ADR.
