Servers failed to update

Question

We have a WSUS server only to update the servers. its using the WID as the database.

We have around 54 servers onboarded and few are not reporting at all even after so many reboots and gp updates.

Any way from last week I noticed the server which was updating earlier is throwing up an error "Error code 80244007"

I tried troubleshooting this from server side which is giving this error. tried almost all the solutions which I found online. but not luck. then this keeps happening on more servers.

looks like something wrong with WSUS. how can I troubleshoot this.

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having query\issues related to WSUS.

On Client computer Go to Registry HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate -> Find Target Group -> export it -> Then Delete it.

On WSUS server please follow below steps.

1. Open an elevated Command Prompt window, and then go to the following location:

%programfiles%\Update Services\WebServices\ClientWebService

2. Type the following commands, and press Enter after each command:

takeown /f web.config

icacls web.config /grant administrator:(F)

notepad.exe web.config

3. Locate the following line in web.config:

<add key="maxInstalledPrerequisites" value="400"/>

4. Change the value from 400 to 800.
5. Reboot WSUS server.
