I have installed WSUS on my Windows 2008 server. My issue is the following:
I get the error message: Windows could not search for new updates (80244019)
- I can get updates from WSUS.
- I tried almost everything on google but can't afford some since it's a production server.
I am wondering if I need to add my 2008 server in my updating list in WSUS. Download updates from WSUS and at the sime time, update the server itself.
Do you guys know if it's possible to download updates without WSUS for my 2008 server?
No Windows Firewall enabled.
No Antivirus software installed.
If you need more info, please let me know.
Regards,
D.

I will assume you are in a Active Directory environment. When I set up my WSUS on a Win 2003 server, I also had to put out a little piece of group policy that Allowed Automatic Updates, and set the intranet update server to my local server. This is found in Computer Configuration>Windows Components>Windows Update. I don't know if this has changed at all. Have you pointed your systems to the local WSUS server?
