WSUS: One Cantankerous Client....

Hi:
All my clients show as reporting except one: a laptop.
It's last report date was about a month ago.

The client diag tool run on that client shows:

The requested URL does not exist on the server.

Ideas?

Thanks,

This build of the WUAgent is the build that ships with Windows XP Service
Pack 3...

and the CDT is not finding a 'selfupdate' folder at the assigned WSUS Server
on the Default Web Site.

This may also be combined with 0x80004002 errors recorded in the client's
WindowsUpdate.LOG.

Given these factors, the most likely issue at work here is a known issue
caused when XP SP3 is applied directly to a virgin installation of a
downlevel XP (RTM, SP1, SP2), and is discussed in KB986708:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956708

The remediation is to reregister the WUAgent DLLs:
REGSVR32 WUPS2.DLL /S <<<<==== this is the specific DLL that is
unregistered after installing SP3
REGSVR32 WUPS.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAUENG.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUAPI.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUCLTUX.DLL /S
REGSVR32 WUWEBV.DLL /S
REGSVR32 JSCRIPT.DLL /S
REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL /S

Or to browse to WU/MU and install the latest WUAgent (v7.2.6001.788)

Or to download and install WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe, which will also
update the WUAgent to the v7.2 agent.
