Wsus requesting microsoft software license terms

Monitor the server status and when files to download is zero, try approving the update s again. Is there a means of removing these updates completely and then re-syncing them from Microsoft? Obviously, XP SP2 is quite an important update, so being unable to approve it is a bit of an issue! It could be the files are physically present, but corrupted, although all files are digitally signed, and if they fail the digisig test, they're not supposed to be 'imported' into the content store.

Mark the updates as Declined. Run the Server Cleanup Utility to remove content for all declined updates. Reapprove the updates. I've tried decling the updates, running the server cleanup wizard and re-approving them - then running wsusutil reset, all to no avail. At least 5 WSUS required updates that are set to install by default are showing that their files need to be downloaded before they will install and won't download, other updates like WinXP SP2 that have license terms won't download their license terms.

I don't think that I have a firewall-related problem as the majority of other updates appear to have downloaded their files successfully. I really am struggling with this. Please shoot me! I've discovered by checking the event logs that the cause of the problem was incorrect permissions on the drive where the WSUS content folder is located.

I've discovered by checking the event logs that the cause of the problem was incorrect permissions on the drive where the WSUS content folder is located. Thanks for all of your help. It's a 'bug' in the. NET Framework v1. It only manifests when the content store is on a non-system drive. Well, I'm glad I helped somehow, but golly gee, I've known about that 'Network Service' account on the drive permission since the dawn of time, and didn't think it applied in this case.

I apologize for the complications in getting you the right 'fix' in the first place. Harry Johnston. That's on the upstream server, i. You might want to consider visiting the appropriate web forum instead.

One of the updates I can't approve is the September malicious software removal tool x64 the x86 version came through OK. Thank you so much for posting your solution here. It didn't work exactly as you have listed for me, I had to do an extra sync between unselecting the classifications in SUP and running the reset command - but I did manage to get it working again thanks to you!

I am having the same issue but just recently. I have 3 updates with download errors of the Microsoft Software License Terms, all others are good. I have done the suggested fix un-selected SUP classifications, ran wsusutil reset, manual sync, which did timeout, selected SUP classifications, ran manual sync and still same results. So with the failed sync my SUP is syncing every hour instead of on the configured schedule.

WSUS Synchronization failed. Message: WSUS server not configured. Please refer to WCM. The operating system reported error Unspecified error. Worked for me as well - Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I had gone to WSUS to remove classifications and found out that approach isn't possible. I'm new to the site and new to SCCM essentially a desktop support guy with an opportunity to learn network admin.

Is this though right click tools? Ive been investigating in to this issue. Not sure if anyone had a resolve to your specific issue but my environment was showing very similar symptoms. The consecutive updates did not. You can post now and register later. Thanks Dave. Friday, June 8, PM. Saturday, June 9, AM. Monday, June 11, AM. Tuesday, June 12, AM. So, if you don't download content locally, then you'll always get synchronization failures? You're basically just copying the downloaded files from one location to another in that scenario.

Which is inefficient for obvious reasons. I can understand why the failure would occur, but seems like if I download files from the internet anyway, there should be an option to ignore those failures, or suppress them.
