ISSUE: Cannot import updates to WSUS, due to erroneous redirection in Windows Update Catalog
abbodi1406
I have spent more time into the testing and found out that it worked in a VERY specific configuration. So to say must be exactly this configuration as you stated.
Bummer.ONE MAY NOT USE https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ in the exception
While these pages can be technically reached, they do not work correctly and will not redirect. Imho this is still a server-side config issue on the IIS 10.
1. It only works as expected when you use the link without www. It does not work with the www. anymore.2. you need to actually add both links. One or the other won't be enough anymore.
Both was till November 2021. But no more.3. really remove any other links in the scope of *.catalog.microsoft.com
4. close all catalog.microsoft.com tabs and restart the browser (just in case you have set that Edge should reopen all tabs on next start)
Thank you abbodi1406 I will update my guide accordingly.
Eds1989 can you please confirm this solution worked for you?
abbodi1406 Eds1989 these are settings I would propose to deploy via Group Policy GPP across your organization not only for WSUS. There are many other settings in this regard, that should be checked I will try to blog about it on techcommunity on a later date.
I've added those entries to my WSUS server and am testing from there. It says that the ActiveX failed to run though:
If I re-run my test my from my client machine, I assume I also need to add those entries and reboot?

Bingo!
Adding those keys to my client machine, I am able to now import:
Thanks for the help guys!
