ManagerIn the WSUS forums a Microsoft representative states:
“As far as i know, it is not only you who have encountered this issue. It seems that some of the packages released in the 9/5 of the Office 2016 category have caused this problem. ”
“Same issue as you. It seems that the KB4346783 can’t be sync due to a known issue which have not been fixed yet.”

AskWoody LoungerAttached our corporate WSUS sync log. I thought the sync issues were fixed after 9/9, but then we had a scheduled sync failure on 9/11, followed by a successful sync 30 mins later. I have no doubt the problems are on Microsoft’s end and there’s nothing we admins can do until a fix is provided to us.

AskWoody LoungerOur corporate WSUS servers were exhibiting the same behavior. I tried the Office check/uncheck manual sync process and it didn’t solve the problem, so I turned Office back on and left it alone.
Waiting a couple of days fixed the issue. Literally, I did nothing but watch it for a couple of days and it started working.
Go figure!

GuestBasically to connect to the database this explains it.
And the sql script to update
USE SUSDB;
UPDATE dbo.tbConfigurationB
SET MUUrl = ‘https://update.microsoft.com/v6’;You may want to record what your original url was in MUUrl. Table tbConfigurationB only has one record so it is easy to look and copy the original url in case you want to go back to it.

GuestHi,
I solved de-selecting Definition Updates” and forcing a manual synch.
After that, I selected again “Definition Updates” and everything seems to be working as expected.
Regards.
P.S. No Office 2016 in my env, Wsus on Wind 2012 R2
