using FQDN secondary site names cause SUP role to fail when synchronising
Further information can be gathered from the following forum question; http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/971a3f17-c4e0-416e-9b3b-67644332c0fa In a nutshell, I am trying to implement Software Update services into my mixed environment SCCM infrastructure. 1 primary site with an active software update role installed and I am trying to get my many secondary child sites onboard with the SUP role. It is failing in due to the following error in the WCM.log; System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 407: Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied. ).~~ at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy.CreateUpdateServer(Object[] args)~~ at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration.AdminProxy.GetUpdateServer(String serverName, Boolean useSecureConnection, Int32 portNumber)~~ at Microsoft.SystemsManagementServer.WSUS.WSUSServer.ConnectToWSUSServer(String ServerName, Boolean UseSSL, Int32 PortNumber) SMS_WSUS_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER 13/01/2011 21:07:09 4856 (0x12F8) It seems that this is a proxy issue, but there is no proxy in-between the child sites and the primary sites, although we do have as internet proxy servers. I can fix this by not specifying the FQDN on the site server and leaving the netbios name and it works fine, but why is FQDN not working? We have ADS domain as example.co.uk and DNS zone as example.co.uk so they match up correctly. I am assuming that when the synchronisation takes place it is attempting to run this as the system account which applies a automatic detection of proxy settings that attempts to speak to our internet facing ISA servers. According to official MS documentation, the system account cannot be configured with its own proxy settings either, so how do we get around this issue? I want FQDN to work and it should work. Thanks

You can double check the proxy configuration using netsh winhttp show proxy.

Yeah I looked at that and it displays no configuration (direct connection). I have changed this to be our proxy, restarted the sync component and it has not resolved the issue.
