Asked By Kroskey Connie 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/16/2019

I have an R2 server running DNS and WSUS. WSUS has been set up, but no client can’t connect. When my 2012 server tries to connect, I get a log along with the error code, 0x80072ee6. How can I fix this issue, I even tried updating, but nothing seems to work?

What Does Error Code 0x80072ee6 Mean And How To Fix It?

You need to force an update from Microsoft. This error occurs if your clients do not have the certificate updates issued by Microsoft. Check your GPO settings the address of your server has to begin with “http://.” If it does start, then make sure that you restart the automatic updates (Windows updates on V6 operating systems) services.

The registry is only read at the service startup or when something related to a policy change event is detected. Most of the times this can occur because of the GPO, so go to computer configuration> policies> admin templates> Windows components> Windows updates, and specify intranet Microsoft update service location.
