Content File Download Failed: The server does not support the necessary HTTP protocol |
SYMPTOMS
During the Synchronization you see the following Messages in the Event log:
Content file download failed. Reason: The server does not support the necessary HTTP protocol. Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) requires that the server support the Range protocol header.
Source File:
/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/windowsxp-kb329441-x86-deu_add906039f76792094f57cc70f55397.exe
Destination File:
D:\WSUS\WsusContent\02\894D6674015D614B6933A109FB3BA02D7466D202.exe.
CAUSE
This is most likely a problem with a proxy server or firewall that you have. BITS downloads use HTTP 1.1 range requests commonly while running in the background download mode. If you have a proxy or firewall that either block these requests or does not fully support them, you might run into this issue.
WORKAROUND
Try these steps as a workaround on the WSUS server, if you unable resolve
this issue from the proxy/firewall side.
1. net stop WSusService
2. CD "%programfiles%\Update Services\tools\osql\osql.exe" -S <SQL instance name -E -b -n -Q "USE SUSDB update tbConfigurationC set BitsDownloadPriorityForeground=1"3. net start WSusService
[Replace <SQL instance name with your SQL server or %computername%\WSUS if you are using WMSDE]
