Getting this error in wsus on 2012. I cannot download any updates.
Description:
The WSUS content directory is not accessible.
Did somebody recently try to relocate the WSUSContent folder? or change the ACLs?
Here are the relevant questions:
What is the actual physical pathname of the WSUSContent folder?
What is the pathname configured in IIS for the /Content v-dir?
What is the pathname configured in the registry value "ContentDir" in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Update Services\Server\Setup?
