When I first installed the WSUS version 3 SP1 I could not get the server to synchronize with the upstream server, an http error occurred message appear when attempting to synchronize.
WebException: The request failed with the error message: -- <html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body> <h2>Object moved to <a href="%2fmicrosoftupdate%2fv6%2ferrorinformation.aspx%3ferror%3d15">here</a>.</h2> </body></html> --. at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSyncWebServices.ServerSync.ServerSyncProxy.GetAuthConfig() at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.ServerSyncLib.InternetGetServerAuthConfig(ServerSyncProxy proxy, WebServiceCommunicationHelper webServiceHelper) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.ServerSyncLib.Authenticate(AuthorizationManager authorizationManager, Boolean checkExpiration, ServerSyncProxy proxy, Cookie cookie, WebServiceCommunicationHelper webServiceHelper) at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.CatalogSyncAgentCore.SyncConfigUpdatesFromUSS() at Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.CatalogSyncAgentCore.ExecuteSyncProtocol(Boolean allowRedirect)
The fix of this problem is to download an update:
1. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30748
2. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30747
After you have installed the update you restart your windows server and you will have no problem synchronizing from the upstream server.
