Some WSUS-Clients report 0x8024400E

Hi NG,

2 of 4 W2k Servers report error 0x8024400E in the UpdateService.log .
WSUS-Admin tells that these computers did not report yet for several days.

Reinstalling the Automatic Update Service had no success. This problem still
persists.

Other computers and servers in the domain (w2k and XP) work fine.

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

Ingo

I had a similar problem with most XP clients reporting this error and
not giving status reports. I eventually traced it to a problem with the
AU client trying to go through our proxy server. Even though our proxy
settings are set to bypass local addresses. I had to do the following to
cure:

1. In group policy use FQDN for WSUS intranet server name i.e.
http://WSUSserver.mydomain.com instead of http://WSUSserver

2. Ensure browser proxy settings includes *.mydomain.com in the "do not
use proxy for addresses begining with" box. I used group policy to set
the proxy settings globally.
