Went to administer WSUS today, and my MMC window prompted this:
Strange. Started investigating and found the following
- Server was up and connecting via RDP / RPC
- IIS was up
- Windows Internal Database & WSUS Service both up
- Server connecting via telnet on port 8530
- Local admin of the WSUS console via MMC failed with the same error message
Found errors in the event log:
Ran a “wsutil checkhealth”:
Which led me to this error:
So I went off to C:\Program Files\Update Services\WebServices\ClientWebService\ to edit the web.config file. Had to take ownership of the file to enable me to make a change, and added the required flag at the appropriate level:
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled=”true” multipleSiteBindingsEnabled=”true”/>
Restarted the server and everything started working again
