We're using SCCM 2012 and are installing the SCCM client (and a few other updates) on client PC's through the Windows Update function. This has worked, but a few weeks ago it has broken. Here's a snippet from a windowsupdate.log on a client PC:

2015-07-23 15:10:20:243 124 1110 DnldMgr Error 0x80244019 occurred while downloading update; notifying dependent calls.

As you can see it fails with the call to client.asmx and then with the download of the update itself. If i paste the link to the software update into a browser i get a 404 file not found. if i look on the SCCM server the path in the windowsupdate.log file is wrong.

In the log file it has /Content/<ShortNumber>/<LongNumber> while on the server it is just /Content/<LongNumber>.

I can't seem to figure out whats going on!

Hi,

Have you checked the logs below?

ScanAgent.log, Update*.log on the client.

WCM.log, WSUSCtrl.log, wsyncmgr.log on the server

This can occur if the selfupdate virtual directory has been removed or is missing from the Default Web Site.

Resolution: To resolve this issue we will need to reconfigure the selfupdate virtual directory.  To do this:

1. Open the IIS Manager console
2. Drill down to the Default Web Site, right click it and select New -> Virtual Directory
3. For the alias use Selfupdate and for the path point to the Selfupdate directory.  It should be something like C:\Program Files\Update Services\Selfupdate.
4. Forward through the wizard selecting all the defaults.

Once your done test it out - you should be able to successfully get updates now assuming everything else is working properly.
