Windows Server Update Services

Oct 28, 2016 Event ID 10032 The server is failing to download some. Error Event Source: Windows Server Update Services. Source: windows server Update. Review the Application log for the most recent events from source Windows Server Update Services and event id 10030. Event ID 10032 from Source Windows Server.

Hi Experts, I have a problem that I have been trying to resolve for the the last fortnight and is pretty close to completely beating me. I have WSUS 3.2.7600.256 running on a Windows 2008 R2 server some updates download and install fine but a large number fail to download. The only clue to what is causing it is the single error event in the Application log.

- 10032 2 7 0x0000 1276003 Application ServerName - The server is failing to download some updates. There are no upstream servers or proxies. I have made sure that Network Service has read permissions for the drive where WSUS content is located. The firewall is turned off. I have run the WSUS clean up wizard and rebooted the server. I have set BITS to start automatically on startup and restarted BITS and the WSUS service. I have even tried the WSUS debug tool but couldn't get it to function as I understand it is designed for x32 bit systems and WSUS 2.0.

I am then, stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do as the above didn't work?

That suggests to me that it's WSUS that's not even queuing the file with BITS to be downloaded. Is the BITS service running (or set to Manual? Which is how it should be).

Does the server have quotas enabled? Is the disk drive full? And, going back to the 'movecontent', triple-check that everything is consistent with the location of the content store.

That the IIS /Content v-dir is mapped correctly, that the ACLs on ~ WSUSContent are correct, and that the ContentDir registry value in HKLM Software Microsoft Update Services Server Setup has the correct value. (It should be the parent folder of ~ WSUSContent.).

The EventID 10032 is just a generic rollup error noting that downloads are failing.

Hi Lawrence, thanks for your reply. The last 364 errors were two weeks ago and latest one shows the details as follows; Content file download failed.

Reason: Error calling [kernel32.dll]:CreateDirectory(d: WSUS WsusContent 1E) Source File: Destination File:. I noticed this at the time and moved the WsusContent location using wsusutil movecontent as d: is the optical drive on the server. The WsusContent file is now located on the e: drive but could it be that the server is now not downloading some updates correctly because the files weren't copied over correctly? The contentmove log file created during the move shows all steps sucessfully completed. Matthew Passman wrote: Content file download failed.

The WsusContent file is now located on the e: drive but could it be that the server is now not downloading some updates correctly because the files weren't copied over correctly? Highly unlikely that wsusutil movecontent caused any problems, but it does beg the question of how the ContentDirectory got set to the optical drive in the first place, and what else was misconfigured concurrently, or by that same operator. Likely the current 10032 is just a recurrence of the same generic warning that there are failed downloads. I would sort the All Updates/Approved list by File Status, and note if any updates still report failed downloads.
