WSUS Synchronization problem - Operation timed out

Hi,


We are running SCCM 2012 SP1 with Software Update Point on Windows 2012. Since the beginning of the week we are unable to synchronize our Software Update and we receive this error message in the Site Status logs:

Error 7001 from WSUS_Control_Manager

Failures were reported on WSUS Server "servername" for WSUS components "WSUSService,".Solution: Verify that the failed WSUS components are installed and running. WSUS

Error 6703 from WSUS_SYNC_Manager

 

 

Synchronization failed.
Message: The operation has timed out.

Here's the content of the wsyncmgr.log:

We were able to sync before, but since a couple days we are receiving these errors.

We have a scheduled job on our remote SQL server that re-index the database (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/6f8cde49-5c52-4abd-9820-f1d270ddea61/) but even after it runs, we still have the problem.

I know that some Windows updates were applied to this server on Sunday night, here's the list:

- KB2803676

- KB2799494

- KB2797052

- KB2795944

- KB2792100

- KB2790655

- KB2789650

- KB2789649

- KB2778344

Maybe it's not related to our problem, but I wanted to give more information than less.

Thank you!

Hi,

Are you running the WSUS server as a Replica Server?

Since there have been no other people attempting to answer this question, At this point I would suggest contact Microsoft Support (CSS) directly for support.

Did you ever get this figured out? We are having the exact same issue.

Did you ever get this figured out? We are having the exact same issue.

I had to first remove the SUP role, then uninstall the WSUS server role. I then deleted the WSUS content file share and recreated it, and also made sure the old SUSDB database was gone. I rebooted the server, installed WSUS again and then added the SUP role back. This solved our issues.
