Hi,
I noticed that there is one post below this one, about the same error, but not at the same place... So I'm posting this one too.
I have SCCM2007 R3 installed on a Win2008R2 server. It's configured to use a custom website (SMSWEB) on port 8532.
I installed WSUS 3.0 SP2, on that same box (PS), configured like this:
- Full server installation including Administration Console
- Store updates locally
- Install Windows Internal Database on this computer
- Create a Windows Server Update Services 3.0 Web site (8530 for HTTP / 8531 for HTTPS ; it's named "WSUS Administration", and has a random long ID number)
I exited the Windows Server Update Services Configuration Wizard, after it opens, as per the SCCM instructions.
Now, I installed KB2530678 and SCUP2011, on the same PS (as SCCM and WSUS).
On SCUP's Options, under the Configmgr Server, I set it to "local server" and the test connection reports success....
My problem is with the test connection of the Update Server (WSUS). I get the error "Failed to connect to the update server. check your update server configuration settings and try connecting again.". This error is displayed for both options (local and remote server).
For remote server, the error adds "System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.Constants' threw and exception".
I tried several options, but they all return the error...
- connect to a local update server
- connect to a remote update server / localhost / 8530
- connect to a remote update server / 127.0.0.1 / 8530
- connect to a remote update server / 192.168.40.10 / 8530
- connect to a remote update server / localhost / ssl on / 8531
If i go to the URL of WSUS (http://localhost:8530), I get a message "Server Error in Application "WSUS ADMINISTRATION"", which means that the website is responding in that port...
Any ideas?
thanks
