WSUS 6 upstream server will support WSUS 3 SP2 downstream server or not

In our company WSUS upstream server operating system is windows 2012 r2. I would like to know can we install downstream server in windows 2008 r2 (WSUS 3.0 sp2) it will download approved patches from upstream server.
WSUS 6 upstream server will support WSUS 3.0 SP2 downstream or not? 

No post-installation instruction in the KB article.
Then you should READ the article again. Let me help:
How to apply this update
We recommend that you synchronize all WSUS servers after you apply this update. If you have a hierarchy of WSUS servers, apply this update, and then synchronize your servers from the top of the hierarchy on down. To synchronize your servers in this manner,
follow these steps:
Note Before computers that are running Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 can be updated by WSUS 3.2 servers, you must complete these steps.
Start the process with WSUS 3.0 SP2 that synchronizes with Microsoft Update.
Apply this update.
Start a synchronization.
Wait for the synchronization to succeed.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each WSUS 3.0 SP2 server that synchronizes to the server that you just updated.
Known issues with this update
If you have Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 clients that synchronized with WSUS 3SP2 before you applied this update, wait for the update to be applied to the WSUS servers, and then follow these steps:
On the affected client, open cmd.exe in elevated mode
Type the following commands. Make sure that you press Enter after you type each command:
Net stop wuauserv
rd /s %windir%\softwaredistribution\
Net start wuauserv

  • SUP role on 2008 R2 DP with 2012 R2 upstream server housing CM 2012

    Hey all,
    I'm fighting a specific issue in the lab right now and wanted to throw this out to see if anyone can lead me in the correct direction.
    Primary Site Server - Server 2012 R2 with CM 2012 R2 CU2 (WSUS 4 - 6.2.9200.16384)
    Distribution Point - Server 2008 R2
    Remote SQL 2012 database housing existing SUSDB from Primary Site Server
    I'm wanting to install the SUP role on the 2008 DP and began to install the WSUS server role.  While trying to install WSUS on the 2008 server and connect it to the SQL database, I received an error:
    "The existing database is not compatible with this version of Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2. Select another database instance or create a new database."
    After some research, found a few postings indicating this could be a permissions issue, so I ensured that both the account performing the installation and the DP computer account had sysadmin permissions on the SQL server. Additionally, I added them
    to the dbo role within the SUSDB itself. 
    Attempted the installation again with the same results.  More research uncovered an article indicating the SQL browser service needed to be turned on - so... I did that, another attempt - same result.
    Reading some articles on using 3.0 as a downstream server for a 4.0 upstream server state that it should work fine, so long as the appropriate KBs are installed prior to the first sync.
    My primary question is should I be installing WSUS 3.0 on the downstream server separately, installing the KBs, then attempting to connect to the upstream server before I let CM take over?  Or is there something I'm missing that should enable me to
    install the connection during the initial installation?

    Thanks for your reply.
    With regards for your answer 1. - I've read several posts on the WSUS forums that indicate a WSUS 4 (6) upstream server can indeed be used with a WSUS 3 SP2 downstream server, so long as KBs are installed prior to the first sync. See here (just one of many
    articles on this topic): 
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/35ed689a-8b78-424e-802d-9e335e07fcfe/wsus-6-upstream-server-will-support-wsus-3-sp2-downstream-server-or-not?forum=winserverwsus
    As far as 2. - I'm very aware that CM takes over the configuration of WSUS with regards to the SUP role. 
    My question is what am I missing that is causing the error that is preventing me from installing WSUS on the 2008 R2 DP and connecting it to the upstream SUSDB?  If the articles stating that this is possible are incorrect, then that's an easy answer,
    but if it can be done, as everything seems to point, do I need to do the following:
    1.  Install WSUS 3.0 SP2 on the 2008 R2 DP without connecting to upstream server
    2.  Install appropriate KBs to ensure compatibility prior to the first catalog sync (reboot)
    3.  From within the WSUS 3.0 SP2 console, connect to the upstream WSUS 4 (6) SUSDB
    4.  Add the SUP role within CM and let CM handle the config from there.
    I just don't want to mess things up if these steps are futile.

  • Will Firefox 6.0 support Norton Identity Safe now? If not now, when?

    I lost Norton Identity Safe when I upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I don't want to upgrade to 6.0 until I know it will support this plug-in. I DO NOT like Last Pass plug-in; every time I use it I get the error message that I am not on line and I know I am.

    If identity safe, part of Norton 360, doesn't work with the new version I do not want to waste my time with it.

  • Will not download from upstream server

    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please. We have downstream server which is set to synch with an upstream server managed by a 3rd party organisation. We can connect and see new updates needed to be downloaded via our WSUS GUI, we can approve these updates
    and then the download indicator just stays a 0%. When we dig around, and look at the BITS jobs they are all trying to download from the Microsoft update site (on the web), not the configured upstream server. All the settings have been checked our end and all
    seem good. We have even bitten the bullet and removed the whole of our local WSUS (including DB), and re-installed and pointed back to the upstream WSUS server, but get the same response i.e. BITS tries to go off to the Microsoft Download site. Anyone had
    this before please? Any help would be good. Before anyone asks, we are in a location where we do not have Internet access for a number of reasons, but the upstream server does. Thanks very much.
    Phil

    We have downstream server which is set to synch with an upstream server managed by a 3rd party organisation.
    This is always problematic from a technology standpoint. It's also arguably a violation of the WSUS EULA, unless that "3rd party organization" has a Service Provider Licensing Agreement allowing them to provide WSUS services to other licensees.
    We can connect and see new updates needed to be downloaded via our WSUS GUI, we can approve these updates and then the download indicator just stays a 0%. When we dig around, and look at the BITS jobs they are all trying to download from the Microsoft
    update site (on the web), not the configured upstream server.
    As Daniel JiSun notes, you hold the configuration option for this behavior. Reconfigure your WSUS server to download from the USS, not Microsoft. But you've said this is configured correctly, which leaves us with one other possibility: If the USS does not
    maintain a local content store, then there's no way you can get files from the USS if it doesn't have them, and your server will be forced to download them from Microsoft. Have you checked with your provider to ensure they're providing the files?
    Before anyone asks, we are in a location where we do not have Internet access for a number of reasons, but the upstream server does.

  • Why do server(s) not appear in WSUS??

    I'm a WSUS newbie who has installed WSUS on Win2k12 R2, using the WID...I was looking forward to this until I became stymied. :( :(
    I have not yet installed the April 2014 MS updates to the server and will wait till I fix this...
    I have a GPO called Servers WSUS Updates, with the target group Servers WSUS Updates, which is also the name of the OU for the servers receiving WSUS updates. I only have one server in this OU now for testing.
    This server does not appear in WSUS and gpresult /r does not show the GPO applying to the server itself.
    It does not seem to matter if I use http://wsus or http://wsus:8530...
    I've done gpupdate /force on the DC several times and then gpresult /r several times on the server...
    How and where do I figure out if this is a GP or WSUS problem?? -- since there's two parts, the GPO doesn't seem to apply to the server, and WSUS does not see the server...
    Thank you, Tom

    gpresult /r does not show the GPO applying to the server itself.
    Well... that would seem to be a significant clue, and makes this a Group Policy issue not a WSUS issue. :-)
    It does not seem to matter if I use http://wsus or http://wsus:8530...
    Yep. If the policy is not being applied, it doesn't make a bit of difference what's configured in the policy .. but for the record, since your WSUS server is on WS2012, the correct URL is http://wsus:8530.
    I've done gpupdate /force on the DC several times
    Why? Is the DC the one intended WSUS client? While we're on the subject... is WSUS running on the DC?
    and then gpresult /r several times on the server...
    And still the policy does not apply, suggesting the problem is more basic. How long did you wait after creating the GPO? If less than 2 hours this may simply be a function of running the GPUPDATE on the wrong machine.
    How and where do I figure out if this is a GP or WSUS problem??
    Oh, it's definitely a GP problem.
    since there's two parts, the GPO doesn't seem to apply to the server, and WSUS does not see the server
    Simply logic applies here. If the GPO doesn't apply, then the CLIENT cannot possibly communicate with the WSUS Server. Also, a most important fact to understand.. the WSUS server does not talk to clients. You might find it useful to review the WSUS Product
    Documentation.

  • Using Outlook for Mac; emails and calendar announcements will not send--error message: "the server does not support secure connections" Help?

    Am using Outlook calendar for Mac--needed for client connection. Invites will not go out. Error message: "server does not support secure connections." Resolution?

    I have done a similar set of things and no results.
    This is really odd, Mac Mail works other emasil clients work, just not Outlook.
    The only event I can tie it back to is the outage a couple of weeks ago when AppleID's weren't working for a perdion of time.  I ended up having to reset mine. 
    Is it feasible a local certificate got corrupted at the same or, oddly, that the SMTP servers don't have the updated password?
    What's odd is that I no matter how much i Google, i can't find anyone else who has this problem, other than here?

  • Does anyone know if OS X Lion will support Exchange Server 2007?

    I'm trying to find out if OS X Lion will support exchange server 2007. I cannot find any information regarding this on the web so I'm trying here. The only information I can find is that Lion supports exchange 2010 but nothing about 2007. I hope someone can help.
    PS. I had to post here as there isn't a OS X Lion community yet. Sorry if this isn't appropriate.

    Nobody knows that could tell you.  Exchange server has some support under Snow Leopard's built-in Mail client, as well Microsoft Outlook (part of Microsoft Office 2011 for the Mac), as well webmail support through several web browsers for the Mac.    Any Intel Mac, which Lion runs can also run Windows in virtualization.  See my FAQ* on those options if none of the options above work in Lion:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
    I'm sure by the end of July there will be a more definitive answer, assuming Apple keeps to its set date.

  • Is Biztalk server 2013 will support Oracle database 12c?

    Hi,
    Can anyone suggest me whether Biztalk 2013 will support Oracle 12c?

    1) Someone had suggested that the recent webcast with Larry Ellison would be about Database 12c, but that didn't make sense because the other presenter in the webcast was the head of SPARC.
    2) Amazon is taking orders for a book called Pro Oracle Database 12c Administration that is supposed to be published on April 17th.
    3) Apress Books has two titles announced for mid-May.
    I would assume that those books cannot be published before the product is released, so those dates might provide some indication.

    We have uninstalled and reinstalled the SUP but the problem still persist, SCCM2012 keeps configuring the WSUS to talk to the upstream server, this resulted in we are unable to get the latest Endpoint definition updates to distribute to client computers.
    Please advise, thank you

    It sounds that you've been in the WSUS console before and configured it that way, but I'm only guessing here. In your case I'd uninstall the SUP and then remove the WSUS role from the server. Re-add the WSUS role and only perform the initial configuration.
    Then install the SUP again and configure it from the ConfigMgr console only.

    This should be considered a temporary fix. It will saturate your Internet connection during periods of WSUS downloads in this configuration.
    The correct and permanent fix should be to resolve the failure of your perimeter device to properly support the HTTP v1.1 protocol specification (which is now some 14 years old).
    Either your device is misconfigured, or it needs a firmware update to support the full specification.

  • Downstream server has less updates than the Upstream server.

    Hi, I have a DSS (Downstream server) that syncs the metadata from a USS(Upstream server) at our place. I counted the number of updates in the database using the `IsLatestRevision` field in the revision table. They are different on both the WSUS servers.
    The DSS has less updates than the USS. The query is as follows. 
    SELECT COUNT(*)
      FROM [SUSDB].[dbo].[tbRevision]
      where IsLatestRevision=1
    Is this the proper way to count the number of updates, if yes, why there is a mismatch. 
    Please help, i am confused on this. Any help appreciated.

    Hi Suraj,
    is the downstream server configured in autonomous mode (the default), or is it in replica mode? It's only in replica mode that all of the updates will be replicated.
    If you find the answer of assistance please "Vote as Helpful"and/or "Mark as Answer" where applicable. This helps others to find solutions for there issues, and recognises contributions made to the community :)

  • Mac mini server suddenly says 'server version not supported'

    Just bought a mac mini server with Lion Server installed a couple of days ago and it has suddenly declared that the server version is not supported and will not allow me to re access the server from the Server App. I don't have any data that I need to recover as I am still experimenting with the set up. Is there away to reset this or do I have to do a clean install? Please advise if you can?

    Exact same issue here....
    mac Mini 2011 model.
    came with Lion installed on it.
    downloaded Server from the app store. installed and worked great.
    updated the "server" to 10.7.1.
    then i decided to delete the server.
    now, when i try to re-install, it says server is not support.
    its because the OS X client is now at 10.7.1 and the server install is looking for 10.7.0
    i think i am going to have to re-install Lion client and try again.

  • The itunes update server could not be contacted. Ran diagnostic and followed many support reccomendations with on success.

    For at least the last 36 hours I have been unable to download updates from the itunes server for either itunes itself, or for iOS for my iphone (I need this since I am locked out of my phone). I was able to get around the problem of not being able to update itunes from the itunes server by downloading 11.0.4.4 from apple.com instead, but I don't believe I can do this for the latest iOS.
    I have tried troublshooting from the support instructions for hours with no luck. Itunes is the only program that is having internet connectivity issues. I have tried disabling windows firewall, completely uninstalling my antivirus, and logging in/running itunes as an administrator. I have purged my hosts file and made sure that LAN settings are set to auto-detect. I have rebooted my router. There are no third party programs running that filter internet connections.

    Firewall Information
    Windows Firewall is on.
    iTunes is enabled in Windows Firewall.
    Connection attempt to Apple web site was unsuccessful.
    The network connection timed out.
    Basic connection to the store failed.
    The network connection timed out.
    Connection attempt to Gracenote server was successful.
    The network connection timed out.
    Last successful iTunes Store access was 2013-04-13 13:59:00.

    I have completed the Advanced iTunes Store Troublshooting workthrough and my problem persists.
    For reference I will detail the steps I have followed from the Advanced Support link iOS *08* provided above.
    Isolate the issue:
    1) the problem is with iTunes (I can connect to other secure websites, including the apple webpage + login).
    2) verified the problem is not with the network (other devices on my network can connect and download iTunes updates).
    3) I cannot resolve the problem by connecting to another network.
    4) I have created inbound and outbound rules to allow all traffic to/from ports 80, 443, 3689, 5297,  5298, 5353, 8000-8999, and 42000-42999. I have allowed these ports full access to all network types and all programs. I have also made sure that all apple products, especially itunes, are allowed in the list of windows firewall exceptions.
    5) My date, time, and timezone are correct.
    6) I am using iTunes as an administrator. I have posted the results of the diagnostic network tests above in my Original Post.
    Blocked by software Firewall:
    I have allowed an exception in the firewall for itunes and bonjour.
    It seems to be the case that:
    "If there's no firewall preventing access, but the iTunes Store still does not work while other Internet services (websites) work, the iTunes Store may be blocked by your configuration."
    Blocked By Configuration:
    I have run iTunes Diagnostics (results above) and the "Secure link to iTunes Store" section did not pass
    I opened IE, made sure I am "Never dialing a connection"
    My LAN settings are set to "Automatically detect settings"
    I do not have any proxy settings
    I have unchecked "Check for server cerificate revocation*" under Advanced IE properties
    I have enabled "Use SSL 3.0" and "Use TLS 1.0"
    I saved and restarted. Still no joy.
    Rebuild Network Information
    I flushed the DNS Resolver Cache
    As mentioned above I reset the host file to default, and also tried to alternate method outlined in the support document involving creatings a "Copy of hosts" file and moving, editing, and returning the file to drivers/etc.
    I then restarted.
    Please Help! This is getting rediculous!

  • How to setup the MDT Upstream server and down stream server

    Hi,
    i have configured the MDT upstream server at office1 & i need to setup the downstream server at office2.
    Image should be replicate from upstream server to downstream server and image should be build from
    downstream server at office2 not upstream server. I need to use LAN network, not MAN network. 
     How i can setup the downstream MDT server?
    Can you please suggest on this.
    Thanks!

    Hi Meganathen,
    I would go for a periodically (scheduled) robocopy. Yes it's perfectly possible to create this with selection profiles and linked deploymentshares, but based on my own experiences and consulting other subject matter experts like MVP Johan Arwidmark, it is
    advised to take care of replication yourself by robocopy or by DFSR
    This way you are in control, and robocopy is a great tool to take care of replication of files.
    To keep in mind your central deploymentshare and branche deploymentshare, you can play with the bootstrap.ini and customsettings.ini, that they will refer to a different deploymentshare location based on default gateway.
    See these links for more information:
