Update ADR - Download Server in DMZ/Workgroup

Greetings and hope all are well ? 

very quick question.   Want to create an ADR for SCEP,  the WSUS download server is in a DMZ and a workgroup. Manually all sychronisation and downloads work perfectly for SCEP and other "normal"  Software Updates, however it fails with the ubiquitous 87D20417 / access denied error when using ADR.  Same process works manually as I can of course enter the server name and user account (local admin for the DMZ WSUS server).

Ive tried setting an access account - in the SUP settings, and can obviously only use a local account that is "on" the WSUS server. -  It fails if I use "administrator"

How do I configure this for the ADR to work.

many thanks

Hi Torsten

The error - 

"Failed to download the update from UNC content source. Error = 1326"

the download source is the "stand alone" WSUS server in the DMZ

If I do the download/update manually - it works

Hi,

As you know, you cannot add the system account of site server to the UNC content source. You need to save these updates to a network location accessible by the site server.

OK, so what we are saying is - ADRs will only ever work when the WSUS synch server is a domain member and not a workgroup (like most DMZs)  UNLESSS we set a  scheduled job to copy those files, once downloaded from MS Update, to an accessiblenetwork share

thanks for all the replies.

Ive had an idea !!

Set up an auto approval for the SCEP Def Updates on the downstream WSUS server (the SCCM SUP)

this then populates the local WSUSCONTENT folder, and thus becomes the download source for the ADR pacakage...........

Initial testing shows - manually running the auto approval rule -  it works.

I'll update later if people are keen to know if this works as a whole solution ?  It may help the person in the link that I posted in response to Torsten
