A fix for Client/Server Synchronization Issues
Hi all,
We have released a fix for the synchronization issues that Cecilia described in https://blogs.technet.com/wsus/archive/2008/06/18/client-server-synchronization-issues.aspx. For details on how to obtain the update, please refer to https://support.microsoft.com/kb/954960.
If you are installing the update on Server 2008, you need to install the update with elevated privileges or else install will fail. E.g., you can run it from a command prompt that was launched with "Run as administrator”.
We have now addressed this matter by replacing the original cab'ed MSP with a an exe-wrapped version of the original MSP to avoid this extra step.
The update does not support uninstall or have an entry in Add/Remove Programs. But one can verify the update has been installed by checking that the version of Microsoft.UpdateServices.WebServices.Client.Dll (in %Program Files%\Update Services\WebServices\ClientWebService\bin\) is 3.1.6001.66 (it will be 65 if the update has not been applied).
While this update is only available on Download Center today, we are working on making it available through the WU/WSUS pipeline and hope to have that done as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Marc Shepard
WSUS Lead Program Manager

Thanks for the information. I will focus on this blog as we have just upgraded to WSUS 3.0 recently.Anonymous

Wow! I've just updated my 2003rd server with the kb954960, and I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you! For I couldn't understand for so much time why those several stubborn clients just don't want to get updated! Now all those clients lined up in a queue to get their updates.Anonymous

By the way, as this is about Client connectivity issue, you have to update the link that pops-up in Update Services Snap-In when a client is not responding for longer period of time. It says, "This computer has not reported status in 25 or more days. Learn about troubleshooting computer connection issues". And when you click, you are taken to WSUS 2.0 troubleshooting steps, while you're actually working on WSUS 3.0. The link has to lead to http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/b23562a8-1a97-45c0-833e-084cd463d0371033.mspx?mfr=trueAnonymous

I tried to install the patch. I agree with Simeon, the lack of acknowledgement for a successful installation leaves one begging the question. The computers still dont show up and its still unuseable because the patch did not install. The interface is pretty, though. At least it worked for some people. =)Anonymous

This update is to be applied on the WSUS server itslef ONLY and not the end user workstations, correct? I think Tom is installing to his clients as well. There was a lack of successful installation acknowledgement but checking the version of the WebServices.Client dll on the wsus server's bin directory verified it was at .66. THANKS 4 THE FIX!Anonymous
July 21, 2008
Same here: No acknowledgement after Installation ( on the Server ) and its still at 65. Are there logs to see what went wrong?Anonymous
July 21, 2008
Incorrect. I did not install the SERVER patch on the clients. I attempted to install on the server. Drama like that comment is kid stuff and counter-productive. Whats the fix? Have a good one!Anonymous

Tried to download this patch, but it seems to have disappeared from MS Download site. Is that a glitch or was there an issue with the patch and I have to wait a bit longer for it to appear again?Anonymous

Here is how I fixed it. I downgraded to Windows Server 2003, as previously mentioned. Then I uninstalled WSUS 3.0 and reinstalled it. Only this time, in the wizard I opted for the custom site with thehttp://servername:8530. When it asked about using the Default Website or creating the custom site, this was the option I chose; even though there is no other site on the server. This was contrary to the practice that was described in the Microsoft installation guide. Therefore, the GPO i created pointed the clients to the url stated above. It is a good thing that I downgraded this server to 2k3 also because there is a problem with Server 2008 in a non-server 2008 domain environment, after this server has been promoted to DC status. We have servers that meet this criteria at our branch offices. So, when i tried to install WSUS downstream servers at the branch offices I get an IUSR error. The built in IUSR groups were not found. This directed my to a Microsoft link that provided a script. The script didnt do anything and the article on that fix really needs some more details on the process of running the script and resolving the problem in general.Anonymous

This fixed this error for me. I migrated my SQL instance from a local SQLEXpress to SQL 2005. These registry changes needed to be applied. Check the registry for the key HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftUpdate ServicesServerSetup
- change the value of "wYukonInstalled" to 0x0
- verify that "SqlInstanceIsRemote" = 0x0.
