WSUS: SelfUpdate Tree is not working

re: WSUS: SelfUpdate Tree is not working

Worked for me but I had to adjust some permissions, assigned full control rights over root folder "C:\Program Files\Update Services\Selfupdate" to domain admin account, and used that account in the allow anonymous specified account.

How do you "add 127.0.0.1 to the list of IP addresses used for Selfupdate" ? Did everything else and still no luck.

If you're running SharePoint on port 80 on the same server then you'll need to exclude the /SelfUpdate path from its control:

stsadm -o addpath -url http://127.0.0.1/SelfUpdate -type exclusion

(stsadm can be found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\BIN)

I have issue with the wsus server behind a firewallwhere only the port 8530 is permitted.

I seen in the logs that it still try to access the WSUS Server sometime on port 80 , I suppose it's for the self update .

Do you know a workaround to have the selfupdate only on port 8530 ?

Thanks in advance

To check if it is working try:

Restart UpdateService in services on wsus server (should also clear any previous error in webinterface)

Then force synchronisation through webinterface on wsus server.

If there is a problem it will show after the synchronisation.

Nice post, one of many that actually addresses the issue properly.

I think it's insane though that you have to have WSUS listening on port 80. I installed WSUS in its own site as I've locked down my default website. Now I have to have something listening on both my internal and external IP's on port 80.

I have had to only allow a certain range of IP's to access the virtual directory.

great work. ever since i had installed exchange 2k3 sp2, this has been an issue. the 'update services' service would stop after only a minute or so. the cause is that exchange sp2 reset the permissions on the website on port 80 (OWA) so I had to reset the perms to get OWA working again. once I reset the perms on the selfupdate virtual folder, the service stays running now! woohoo!!
thanks everyone

thanks.
