SCCM 2012 will not Sync with WSUS Server, Event ID 6703 Source SMS Server

Question

I have read, read, read many forums/posts about this issue however I cannot find one that solves my issue.

Setup:

1 Server running 2008 R2 with SCCM installed. We will call it SRV1.

2nd Server running 2008 R2 running our WSUS. We will call it SRV2.

I pointed my Software Update Point role to the 2nd server, when I try to sync all updates I get the following error:

On 7/11/2012 7:38:58 AM, component SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER on computer SRV1.domain reported:   WSUS Synchronization failed.

 Message: WSUS server not configured. Please refer to WCM.log for configuration error details..

 Source: CWSyncMgr::DoSync.

  The operating system reported error 2147500037: Unspecified error

Log Name: Application
Source: SMS Server
Event ID 6703
Level: Error
User N/A
Task Category: SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER

Now I added SRV1 Computer object to SRV2's Local Admin group to see if this will help, no it failed.

SRV1 Domain functional level is 2008 Native mode so I saw that SSL needed to be enabled on SRV2 for WSUS to work with SRV1.
I created my Certificate and enabled SSL but now I cannot even open WSUS console on SRV1 or my PC.

I imported the certificate to SRV1 but that still fails.

I confirmed BITS was set to automatic and service has started.

On SRV1 (SCCM 2012) I added the Application Catalog Web Service Point and App Catalog Website Point.

Should those 2 services be on SRV2 since it has the SUP role?

The reason I ask this is because I get 2 other errors in my Event Log pertaining to those services:

I have been trying to fix this issue for 4 days now and no luck, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Please, show the WCM.log

Answer 2

The following guide is for CM 2007 and I don't think any significant change in ConfigMgr 2012. I think, you may just go back and confirm every thing is in place or not.

CM12 Guide:

WSUS, SUP

And in my experience, please check auto-config proxy in IE . If check the proxy boxes in the SUP, it fails there also.

Answer 4

Any recommendations of a log viewer for better formatting?

Notepad is all jumbled up.

Answer 5

CMTrace.exe  in ...:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools

Answer 6

did you find a solution to this problem?

Answer 7

Hello. i've been experiencing the same exact issue with sccm 2012 + wsus

did the OP find a solution ?

thanks.

Answer 8

Is your WSUS also remote? Are you also seeing "Site Component Manager could not access site system "\\SRV2.DOMAIN". The operating system reported error 2147942405: Access is denied."?

Answer 9

I never did find the solution for it. My WSUS was on a remote server at the time. I reinstalled SCCM 2012 as I had other issues and installed the WSUS on the SCCM server as well. I had some issues with the SCCM being the SUP so I run both separate for now. I think I had some issues with the GPOs affecting my clients pointing to the SUP. I never went back to test it again as I moved on to other projects and this was no longer a priority.

Wish I had some info to help the rest of you out but I just couldnt figure it out myself.

is there any updates to this issue?

Answer 11

"System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---~~   at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy.CreateUpdateServer(Object[] args)~~"

That's most likely caused by the network or proxy etc ... netsh winhttp show proxy can be used to display proxy settings.

Answer 12

I ran the "netsh winhttp show proxy"

Current WinHTTP proxy settings:

Direct access (no proxy server).

I have also double checked to make sure there is no proxy configured.

ATM WSUS is sucsessfully connected to the Microsoft Upstream server and can sync updates with the server.

The only issue I am facing is SCCM does not want to sync.

Answer 13

I reinstalled both WSUS and SCCM 2012, I am getting the same error in the Event Log but a diffrent one in WCM log.

Answer 14

Did anyone ever get this fixed?  I got this error after applying KB2720211.  Reinstalling SUP and WSUS does not fix it.   Installed a fresh copy on Server 2012 didn't go so well either.

Answer 15

Same error is logged after upgrade SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 .I've applied KB2734608 on SCCM server and its fixed this issue
