Cannot Download Updates In SCCM: There was an error downloading the update (16389)

When trying to download and deploy updates using SCCM we receive this error message everytime.  Despite that, the patches always seem to download to the specified folder.

I have searched the forums, this is not due to an expired update and a reboot has not fixed it (in fact we had the exact same error message with the previous site installation).

Check the PatchDownloader.log shows an error:

ERROR: DownloadContentFiles() failed with hr=0x80004005

If the file downloaded check to see if it is changed in your update list as downloaded?  Also is this patch required to accept a license agreement?    Are the patches still deploying correctly even with this error ?

I'm getting the same issue. But it's more specifically for FEP Definitions. Any ideas anyone?

I encountered this error a few times when creating my initial patch deployments.  On Server 2008 R2, I found that when it occurs I can fix it with a couple methods:

  1. Control Panel > Internet Options > Security, select the "Internet" zone, uncheck "Enable Protected Mode", and click OK.  Close and restart IE if necessary.  After disabling protected mode, retry the patch download.
  2. If the first option didn't fix it, close and re-open the Configuration Manager Console and retry the patch download.

 

I've had a 100% success rate with this.  Of course, you should re-enable IE protected mode when finished.

I would try running the Console "run as administrator" or different user  ?  it may help  as it seems to be a permission issue for your ID.

Then check your Proxy Setting in the Internet explorer for the machine it may help you if the issue is in content download.
