We're running WSUS server 3.0 on a server which is working pretty problem-free at the moment, updating servers and workstations alike.
We've also got ISA 2004 running on a different box which is acting as a firewall for our company network. Unfortunately I'm not much of an expert on ISA. I have deployed several updates to the ISA server but the server isn't picking these up, even despite several wuauclt /detectnow attempts.
It seems that ISA is blocking the traffic to the WSUS server. I've pasted some text from our windowsupdate.log below since attaching doesn't seem to be working. When I visit
http://wsus/selfupdate/iuident.cab on the ISA box I get an error page displayed by the ISA server saying "Error Code: 403 Forbidden. The ISA Server denied the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL). (12202)".
Following instructions from several posts on the Internet I've created a new access rule in ISA to allow HTTP, HTTPS and Kerberos-Sec (UDP) traffic from Local Host to WSUS for All Users. This hasn't made any difference and, just in case, I've tried amending the rule to allow all outgoing traffic and adding other user groups such as 'Authenticated Users'.
Also noteworthy is the fact that when I visit the Microsoft Windows Update website the server has no problem checking for updates and picking up what it needs.
So I'm pretty certain it's ISA blocking the update traffic, I just can't figure out how to unblock it!
