It looks like a communication issue between the client machine and WSUS server. but I tried to disable firewalls on both machine, problem still persists.

I also tried to recreate susclientid by deleting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate

HI,

The issue is not being between your WSUS and clients, but between WSUS and Internet!

DId you change any setting your WSUS server?, can you access Internet from your WSUS server?

Regards.

First I think you're missing this update:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2720211

Then after update and reboot, run:

C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\wsusutil.exe usecustomwebsite false

This will reconfigure the WSUS IIS site to operate on port 80

C:\Program Files\Update Services\Tools\wsusutil.exe usecustomwebsite true

This will reconfigure the WSUS IIS site to operate on port 8530

Even though it might have been port 8530 to being with, setting it to 80 then back to 8530, adjusts some IIS settings needed to make WSUS operate normally.
You still have Server 2003 SP2? This is no more supported and end of life. What are your clients? Windows 7?

Yes, still Windows 2003…. All client Windows 7 32bit
Hi,

Have you consider my post? and Kimputer one?? I wanted to make sure the internet connectivity is OK for you and Kimputer provided a solution for this issue in the case if your network connectivity is OK!!

But you only consider the last post and reply to it without following all posts and contents!! why? you don't have a time? if so do experts wil have a time to spend in writing an answer that will not be considered by the asker?

Regards.

Salah
Sorry, salah. Thanks for the answer.

I don't think it is a internet issue.  wsus server can still sync the new updates from upstream servers.
Wsus settings also haven't been changed recently
Kimputer, I will try your solution and let you know tomorrow

Hi,

To confirm Kimputer solution, have a look here

http://serverfault.com/questions/740833/wsus-clients-failing-to-get-updates-with-error-80072ee2

If you find erros in IIS as described on the screen shot, just follow Kimputer instructions.

Regards.

Salah
Hi,

I followed Kimputer's instructions and got the same error.
It only happens with new deployed machines. Old machines are working fine.
There are the old machines update log if that helps

I suspect the wsus server refused to receive new client update by some reasons.

Hi,

The new clients are similar to old ones?

Regards.

Salah
Hi,

Please confirm that the new cumputer are listed in WSUS computer list and you did approve the related updates to be installed?

Regards.

Salah
Hi Salah,

Only new clients have the issue, Old ones work perfectly.

I did put new clients to the computer group which already has approved updates.
But there is error machine on the machine says "this computer has not reported status yet"
Hi,

You don't use GPO?

Regards.
I do, but I manually assign machines to different groups.

Did you solve the issue?

Hi Salah,

Thank you for you help.
That solution didn't solve it.
it may be a bug that ms doesn't support ws 2003 anymore.
I have create a new wsus server on windows 2008R2 and running perfectly now.
