SCCM Third Party Updates: SyncUpdate: Exception Message: Failed to sign package; error was: 2148081670

Question

Getting the listed error after setting up and subscribing to Dell Third Party Updates

Configuration Manager 2111 Hotfix Rollup (KB12896009)

I get the following error when trying to download the Dell Open Manage Inventory Agent or any other Dell driver update.
The items are showing as Meta data only
WSUS certificates are in all locations on the SCCM/SCUP server per the recommend actions in the logs

One thing to note is that it looks like Dell Third Party Updates were previously incorrectly configured and not properly removed.

@CC Newell
Thanks for your posting on Q&A.

Please help to confirm whether the SUP is remote from the top-level site server. To help me research further, please be kind to provide the whole SMS_ISVUPDATES_SYNCAGENT.log for reference.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Have a great weekend :-)

Best regards,
Rita

Answer 2

Are here instructions on how to delete / clean out the Third Party Update Catalog meta-data from WSUS. I believe an old configuration is causing the issue and I would like to cleanup all settings and sync'd metadata and start again fresh. I do not have SCUP installed on the server. Thanks
