Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help, i've been searching for a couple of days with no luck. Here's the scenario:
We originally had the central parent site as APD, and it had a bunch of secondary child sites, and also a primary child called CEN. then a week ago i wanted to make CEN the central primary site, and basically get rid of APD. I read somewhere that the first step was to swap the sites, so everything could sync properly. so i changed CEN to be a central site, then about an hour later i changed APD to have CEN as it's parent. This seemed to work fine - all the locked packages and collections etc on CEN became unlocked, and everything appeared to work fine.
Then, looking at the software updates (eg Software Updates -> Update Repository -> Security Updates -> All Updates) i noticed ALL the updates had a grey icon (instead of the normal icon with the green arrow), and were expired. I gave it a few hours, hoping it might just need time to sync, and that indeed seemed to be the case - slowly the updates started to re-enable themselves (get the green arrow or yellow arrrow icon back), and things were looking up. I kept an eye on it, and once 371 updates had re-enabled themselves, it just seemed to stop. i checked the wsyncmgr.log file on CEN, and i can see this:
Synchronizing update b0a6a382-7029-4546-85e9-039dbbb800f7: MS08-037 Security Update for Windows Server 2003 (KB951748)
SQL MESSAGE: sp_SetupSDMPackage - SDMPackage refers another SDMPackage that is not available yet
sp_MigrateSDMPackage returned an error 2
Referenced SDMPackages are not available yet:
Failed to sync update b0a6a382-7029-4546-85e9-039dbbb800f7. Error: Failed to create SDM package Site_D1116251-2806-4DBC-AFE5-518FD74CFC67/SUM_b0a6a382-7029-4546-85e9-039dbbb800f7(1). CSDMTypeSource error: 2. Source: Microsoft.SystemsManagementServer.SoftwareUpdatesManagement.UpdatesManager.UpdatesManagerClass.DefineUpdate
i'll get the above over and over. usually just before it seems to attempt and fail, i'll have something like this:
sync: SMS synchronizing updates
sync: SMS synchronizing updates, processed 0 out of 4869 items (0%)
sync: SMS synchronizing updates, processed 100 out of 4872 items (2%)

sync: SMS synchronizing updates, processed 600 out of 4955 items (12%)
sync: SMS synchronizing updates, processed 700 out of 4967 items (14%)
it would finish with:

i also get an event ID 6703 in the application event log saying "The operation has timed out"
i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the SUP via SCCM, i have made sure the proxy details are correct, wsus and sccm both say that the CEN SUP should be getting updates from MS. everything in the WCM.log file looks correct..
thanks in advance!
Nick.
