I'm having this problem with a newly installed Windows Server 2003 SP1
box, an older Windows Server 2003 install (not sp1), and an XP SP2
install.
Does anyone have any further information about this issue? I've just
spent the last 4 hours googling around trying to find a resolution, but
I haven't had any luck so far. I've tried everything in the above link
to no avail.
My traffic is being routed through tinyproxy for http traffic and a
socks proxy for everything else. Since we've implemented this setup,
windowsupdate v6 is the first app that I've had problems with. I can
even run WU v4 on W2K Pro with no problems.
I've figured out that the windows update service isn't actually using
the proxy. I deduceded this by using netstat -an and also capturing
packets using ethereal. It's attemping to go directly port 443 (https)
at the following addresses (which update.microsoft.com resolve to) :
64.4.21.93
207.46.157.30
What really gets me with this is that in the WindowsUpdate.log file I
have this (note: I've replaced all IP addresses w/ *):
+ ServiceId = {9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77}, Server URL =
https://update.microsoft.com/v6/Clie...ce/client.asmx
WARNING: Send failed with hr = 80072ef1.
WARNING: SendRequest failed with hr = 80072ef1. Proxy List used:
<http=*.*.*.*:*;socks=*.*.*.*:*> Bypass List used : <*;*;*;*.*;<local>>
Auth Schemes used : <>
WARNING: Sync of Updates: 0x8024000b
WARNING: Exit code = 0x8024000B
So it says, "Hey I'm going to use these servers for proxies," but then
it never does. What is the deal with this? From my ethereal output, I
know for a fact it never even attempts to go to my proxy server.
If anyone has any insight on this it would be much appreciated. I'm
very close to just living with this and manually downloading the
updates I need.
Thanks
