What I meant was that the error I receive seems to be related to the SUS client 2.2 trying to initialize when the v5 page makes the call to start the download window. As opposed to using the v5 activex control. Since that version of the client does not know about the new download window it fails. I found a couple of references on Google to the error code which seems to point to SUS. The connection between the 2 was purely deductive on my part, if the error seems related to SUS, but v5 web page is what should be making the call, then they must be crossing wires somewhere. It is 100% reproducible in my case. This connects with an SUS "anomaly" I saw last week when I pushed out the .NET Framework SP update. The SP2 machines acted like they received it from normal AU instead of SUS. I had to click the update icon in the sys tray instead of getting the dialog that says it is about to install yes-no or just auto installing on a client with no logged on user. All the pre-sp2 machines behaved normally. I'm not entirely sure if it is related to SUS GPO and subsequent reg entries on the client or actual file version conflicts. I see there are some new entries for windows update in the GPO from SP2. One thing I do know is that all was well when SP2 and v5 first went out to IT, then they pushed out a second new client activex when SP2 went on WU and that is when everything went south. V4 site still works fine and can initiate the download, of course that is manual and when updating a new machine or RIS image (which I must do often), that is a pain.

We're fighting with the WU team about what's wrong and how to fix it and the more folks come screaming to PSS, the more leverage we have. I'm not clear on your statement about the "SUS client" vs. the WU client. They're one and the same; it's just a matter of where you direct them for automatic updates.

I didn't want to risk wasting a call since numerous posters have said they aren't helping. I did however post the relevant log snippet from Windows Update.log to an MS WU engineer in the MS newsgroup. It appears to be a problem on that machine with the SUS 2.2 client. It seems the newest v5 client does not like co-existing in an SUS environment. The error on the page and in the log is 8007045A. In my test environment where there is no SUS, v5 is still working. Thanks for listening, clearly my issue is not ISA related, so this was certainly OT. I originally replied because many of the v5 problems may not be related to ISA at all. In a second test environment with no SUS and behind ISA 2004, I have had no problems with v5 and had to make no changes nor apply any updates.

The v5 WU problems may be a little more global than just proxy issues. It is failing widespread, proxy, firewall or whatever or not. Seems to have started with the second v5 update client they pushed out last week (I think it was last week). Check the MS newsgroup for WU and you'll see dozens of posts a day stating problems with v5 update hanging or returning an error page. I know for me it worked fine through ISA 2004 and through another FW elsewhere with the original v5 client, after the last update no work anymore anywhere. In my case I can get all the way to the install page, then it returns an error instead of firing up the new download dialog. Manually going to v4 WU site works fine. I have to admit I am extremely reluctant to install a pre-sp2 roll up with the rather large list of items it replaces over a SP2 install. BTW-the roll up was installed prior to SP2 on some machines. Although this problem happens on machines upgraded to SP2 and machines clean installed with slipstreamed SP2.

The WU team is hard at it coming up with an answer to this issue. We've also tested a few more scenarios and here is an updated workaround for SIA 200x: Synopsis: There are two NTLM authentication issues affecting WU v5 when WU uses web proxy requests to access Windows Update: NTLMSSP_AUTH responses may contain null credentials NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE credentials may be sent on a half-closed connection We haven't heard any reports of WUv5 issues with non-NTLM (Basic, Digest) authentication yet and we haven't specifically tested this. We have been able to repro this with ISA Server 2000 and we have also heard reports of WU failing through other NTLM-authenticating proxy servers (Proxy 2, Squid are two examples). The cause of each problem is still being worked out, but a clear workaround is available and it boils down to two things: - Disable authentication for Windows Update requests. - Disable authentication for HTTP and HTTPS protocols ISA Server Note: you may have heard that the "ReturnDeniedIfAuthenticated" registry setting explained in http://support.microsoft.com/?id=297324 is part of the problem. While applying this setting to ISA 2000 does help expose the WU authentication problems, it is not the cause. If you have applied this setting to your ISA 2000 Server, you did so with good reason to solve a specific problem. You should not remove this setting if you have applied it. By the same token, if you are not experiencing the problem outlined in this KB article, you don't need to and shouldn't apply it. The above article applies only to ISA 2000; you should not apply any ISA 2000 registry settings to ISA 2004 unless the relevant KB article explicitly instructs you to. Currently, none do. Now let's get on with the workaround. Per the WU team, there are four destinations that should be included for creating anonymous Windows Update access policies: TABLE 1 Item FQDN 1 *.download.microsoft.com 2 *.windowupdate.com 3 *.windowsupdate.microsoft.com 4 windowsupdate.microsoft.com For internal clients Download and apply this Internet Explorer update package to all internal clients http://support.microsoft.com/?id=871260 For ISA 2000 NOTE: Changes to ISA 2000 policies do not take effect immediately and do not affect existing sessions.
