I've got an odd problem with any new server I build not being able to connect to the WSUS server after the first batch of updates. All servers are Windows Server 2012 Datacenter Edition. Here's how the problem presents itself:
1. I create a new VM in vCenter, boot to the Server 2012 ISO and install with GUI.
2. Install VMware Tools and configure network settings.
3. Join to domain.
4. Launch Windows Update from Control Panel, install Windows Update update directly from Microsoft and then enable updates for all Microsoft products.
5. Close and relaunch Windows Update (by this time GPO has configured WSUS client settings) and check for updates. Install about 160 updates from WSUS and reboot.
At this point, I can no longer connect to the WSUS server for updates. I can check/install directly from Microsoft just fine but if I try to check from WSUS I get error code 8024401C. This only effects new servers. Pre-existing servers using the exact same WSUS GPO settings work without any problems.
I've tried all the basics with regard to resetting Windows Updates settings on the server. Here's what I'm getting in the log:
