using SCCM 2012 in a LAB - Part 2. Add SUP and WDS

[csakg6s0]

also ..which site should be set to "active" when configuring the software update role component from the ribbon.

[anyweb]

the CAS should be the Active SUP.

[csakg6s0]

ok..did what you said and still no dice. I am really loosing my mind..

[csakg6s0]

everything is clean and green in the component status..until it tries to do a sync and then i get a warning.

[csakg6s0]

what does the manual sync actually do..does it force the cas to go out to the internet and check for updates?...or just preform a sync of it's updates with the primary? I checked the wsus sources folder and there is no content..so nothing is being downloaded.

[anyweb]

triggering a sync causes Configmgr to ask WSUS to sync with Microsoft Update, do you need to configure proxy settings or something ?

[csakg6s0]

we do not use a proxy.

[anyweb]

ok, well double check all my steps in the guide, you must have missed something or you are not telling me the whole story.

 

as a troubleshooting step, you can open the wsus console and trigger a sync in ConfigMgr, what you should see is WSUS starting a sync, do you ?

[csakg6s0]

I ran through the lab 5 times already....word by word!! Is there any security considerations that may prohibit sccm from configuring wsus...is there any configuration done ..behind the scene's that is.

[csakg6s0]

i ran the sync as suggested and nothing shows up in wsus.
