Downstream WSUS server without internet connection, license terms not being downloaded

We have 2 WSUS servers.
ServerA is the upstream server and has access to the internet
ServerB is configured as Autonomous downstream and has no internet access.
Synchronisation between the two servers works fine, with the exception of updates that have license terms. As part of the synchronisation, the downstream server attempts to download the license terms directly from Microsoft but fails, since there is no internet
connection.
Is there a way of configuring it so that the license terms are download from the upstream server or something similar?

with the exception of updates that have license terms. As part of the synchronisation, the downstream server attempts to download the license terms directly from Microsoft
This is not how it works. If the downstream server is correctly configured as a downstream server, it downloads
everything from the upstream server.
How did you determine that your downstream server was attempting to download direct from Microsoft, or that it was directly related to anything being synchronized from the upstream server.

  • Failing to install Domain Services on a Windows 2012R2 without internet connection

    Hello
    i have a windows 2012r2 server without internet connection.
    when i try to add the Domain Services role it failed in the Feature installation phase
    i even tried to provide an alternate location from a ISO source but that didn't help either 
    im lost here what should i do?
    i attached the fail screenshot
    Thanks 
    Guy

    What error is shown in Event Viewer when the install fails?
    Is it the first 2012 R2 DC in a lower level domain?
    Try installing ADDS via PowerShell:
    Import-Module ServerManager
    Install-windowsfeature -name AD-Domain-Services –IncludeManagementTools
    The other thing that it could be is an issue with the WID (Windows Internal Database)
    Check in the Event Viewer for anything to do with Service: MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID and perhaps try this:
    Adjust your domain (or domain controller if appropriate) security policy to allow “NT SERVICE\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID” to log on as a service, a GPO setting that can be found under Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings
    > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment.

  • How to simulate server 2012+clients connetion in virtualbox without internet connection

    Hi, I am new to this forum and also not familiar with simulation in virtualbox. I want to know how to simulate server 2012+clients connection in virtualbox without internet connection. I couldn't join the client computer (windows 7 installed) to
    the domain (the  windows server 2012). I already added the DHCP , AD DS and DNS roles features in the windows server 2012. Can someone put me through?

    If you're using VirtualBox you might be better off asking this over on their forum
    https://forums.virtualbox.org/, since it's not a Microsoft product. That said I have used it myself, and I think what you need is to ensure you're using the Internal Networking option
    http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_internal and make sure that both virtual machines have their network card setup with the same name / network ID. Once that's done you
    can configure them on the same network range and they should be able to communicate.

  • Create local wifi network on OS X without internet connection

    Hi,
    is there anyway to create a local wifi network without internet connection to play multiplayer games like call of duty on macbook pro ?

    Is it safe to assume that you are connecting your MBP to a wireless router already?
    If you are then all the other LAN machines should also connect to that same router even if internet access is turned off.
    LAN parties are fun and they require the computers to have certain port setups for certain games.
    It is possible, though I don't play COD (I'm a Battlefield man) and I can't help with the details of COD.
    When my son has his friends over we  use a wired hub setup and we  make the laptop guys use the wired connection - it's  more stable. I admit that we always use the internet. The last LAN party we had without the internet was a Battlefield 1942 setup with one computer hosting the local server (and that was years ago.)

  • Do I need to be online to use creative cloud? I want to use it in the field without internet connection.

    Do I need to be online to use creative cloud? I want to use it in the field without internet connection.

    Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud / Common Questions
    Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
    No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
    Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.

  • If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

    Hi Folks,
    I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my  Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
    So is that doable?
    Thanks in advance

    And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time

  • I can't update my ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server"(despite internet connection being fine). Also, when I try and update software it starts then stops after 2 seconds

    I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

    Hi Bob,
    I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
    Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers

  • Labwiew 8 won't start without internet connection

    I have Labview 8.0 installed on a NI PXI-1050 chasis with Windows XP and Service Pack 2 installed.  The problem is that Labview will not load up (it locks up at finishing initialization) if I do not have the chasis connected to the internet via ethernet connection.  When I connect to the internet and reboot the computer, Labview is able to start fine.  The chasis is installed in a mobile vechicle and cannot always be connected to the internet.  I've read that Labview 8 needs to connect to the internet to make sure the copy it is running is legitimate?  Is this copy protection messing me up?  Is there a way to run Labview 8 without internet connection?
    Thanks.

    Where did you read this? There's an initial activation that you do when you first install LabVIEW. but there's no "phone home" each time you launch LabVIEW. I can start up LabVIEW without an internet connection.
    More than likely what's causing it are services that run and/or MAX. Software firewalls installed on a computer can block this communication even it's happening on a loopback, but you said that the problem goes away once you connect to the internet, so it's likely not a firewall issue. Is the PXI chassis normally connected directly to the internet through a modem, or is it connected to a router (when it's connected)? Are you using a static IP address on your PXI chassis?

  • Move out Info Provider to other server without transport connection?

    Hi All,
    Could you share you thought ?
    Is there a possibility to move out the info provider design & info object to other server without transport connection ?
    The background is our project box will be decommissioned, and unfortunately it's not connected to development box. We've already found how to move out ABAP program, we generate it to XML, than upload it.
    How about for info provider itself / info Object ? Is there a possibility to have the same treatment ?
    Any thought from all of you ?
    If you have the way, appreciate if you can share it to me.
    Thanks a lot and have a good day,
    Best regards,
    Daniel N.

    Hi,
    From transport side, it is possible. You can create a dummy transport target system, then collect BI objects in request and release it. After release, the exported data is in dir_trans, you can manually copy it to realy target server, put them in dir_trans, and in STMS import Q, select from menu of import external request and import it.

  • Installing Arch on PC without Internet Connection/Slow Connection

    Arch Linux requires a fairly good internet connection to set up. How can one install it on machines which don't have any internet connectivity? Is there any way to make a DVD of Arch on a computer connected to internet and having Arch setup(DE,Media Players,Codecs etc) which can then be used on machines without internet connections This would come useful for me to install at my friends place.
