Remote configuration failed on WSUS Server

Last week I upgraded my ConfigMgr 2012 environment to SP1. All went fine, but after the upgrade Endpoint Protection wouldn't update anymore. Strange thing is my environment was already provided with KB2720211 and KB2734608, and was working okay before the SP1 upgrade. Looking in the logfiles the following error messages were seen in: "Remote configuration failed on WSUS Server".

WindowsUpdate.log

wsyncmgr.log

WCM.log (before)


Looking on MS TechNet I found the following post: Remote configuration failed on WSUS Server.

For me this did the trick:

1) Uninstall WSUS (without database, logfiles, updates)
2) Install WSUS again + KB2720211 + KB2734608 updates
3) Reboot the server (you never know)
4) Start "Synchronize Software Updates"


WCM.log (after)

After that WSUS synchronization is working again and Endpoint Protection is up-to-date on all servers now. Good thing to know when you update your environment to SP1 I think.

Update 8-1-2013: For it seems it's a known issue in SP1 when using specific WSUS ports. Just change the ports back to the ports configured earlier on your Software Update Point and you'll be fine!
