Hey guys.

I am forever seeing the following error when I check the all status message query.

The issue is affecting a large amount of desktops and servers on the network.

I haven’t been able to find a lot of information online regarding a fix or workaround.

The client failed to download policy. The data transfer service returned "BITS error: 'HTTP status 404: The requested URL does not exist on the server.

' Context: 'The error occurred while the remote file was being processed.'" (-2147024894).

I am at a loss on how to resolve the issue, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any update  ? I am also seeing this error message

from what I can see it looks like it's related to software updates that were approved but are no longer downloadable from Microsoft, hence the 404, so start looking in that direction
