WUAHandler.log error OnSearchComplete - Failed to end search job. Error = 0x80240439
Abhijitsworld All error codes indicate communication issues between the Windows Update Agent on the affected systems and the WSUS Server/Software Update Point:
- 0x80240439: WU_E_PT_INVALID_FORMAT - The data received does not meet the data contract expectations.
- 0x80072f78: WININET_E_INVALID_SERVER_RESPONSE - The server returned an invalid or unrecognized response
The PT component reporting the first errors in WindowsUpdate.log is responsible for synchronizing update information from the WSUS Server/SUP to the local datastore, so that may be corrupted. Also check what the difference is between the systems that do scan successfully and the ones that don't: OS version, Windows Update Agent version? Make sure that WSUS/SUP is well maintained. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4490644/complete-guide-to-microsoft-wsus-and-configuration-manager-sup-maint for more information on that.

8530 port not blocked & can access 'HTTP://myserver.mydomain.local:8530/SimpleAuthWebService/SimpleAuth.asmx" from the client. though Windowsupdate.log says WARNING: There was an error communicating with the endpoint at 'HTTP://myserver.mydomain.local:8530/SimpleAuthWebService/SimpleAuth.asmx"
cant see any difference between the systems that do scan successfully for OS version, windows update Agent version, IP Sub-net, SMS client version
tried to recreate SoftwareDistribution on 1-2 failed client but same result.
is there any steps to recreate update information / data-store of WSUS server itself or check if its not corrupted?
Thanks & Regards,
