Tarek Barakat 3 1

I am trying to update a new virtual Windows 2008 32 bit server. Every time I go to Windows update the new server with all Windows 2008 patches, I get the error "windows update error 80244019", any suggestion? It was working fine few weeks ago.

Hi TarekBarakat3-8631,

Here is the error code explanation:
0x80244019 -2145107943 WU_E_PT_HTTP_STATUS_NOT_FOUND Same as HTTP status 404 - the server cannot find the requested URI (Uniform Resource Identifier)

We may try the following steps to troubleshoot first:

Please try to confirm the following services are running on the clients first:
BITS 、Windows Update services

And then we may try to follow the below steps to check the connection between the WSUS Server and the clients:
Open the IE browser and enter the following link:
http://wsusname:portname/ClientWebService/client.asmx

If the connection is healthy, the following picture appears for the client:

Regards,
Rita

Your issue is likely TLS issues

Thx for reply!
What is TLS?

Regarding the catalog.update, why you used KB4019276? Is there a link to manually download all the patches to install them manually as well?

Answer 2

What is TLS:

https://www.cloudflare.com/en-ca/learning/ssl/transport-layer-security-tls/

TLS1.2 is what you should be using. 1.0, 1.1 are deprecated, and 1.3 is not widely used.

While you're at it, you'll want to update for SHA256 signing as SHA-1 is deprecated too

https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/4472027/2019-sha-2-code-signing-support-requirement-for-windows-and-wsus

Old OS note: Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 are NO LONGER receiving security updates by Microsoft as they went out of support on January 14, 2020. You should be looking to update those systems, and not use 2008.

I'd verify system and servicing health by running;
sfc /scannow

also system update readiness tool

Then check for errors in;
%SYSTEMROOT%\Logs\CBS\CheckSUR.log

The TLS 1.2 patches fixed this error for me. Server 2008 was the Windows Vista equivalent. It's simply amazing that TLS 1.2 was even added to this EOL leftover.

I've tried evertything seen here but it didn't work on my Windows Server 2008 SP2. The issue is related with the deprecation of SHA1 cypher.

To fix this issue i've installed KB4474419 (without WSUS and non joined domain pc). If you use WSUS KB4484071.
