WSUS Error – ‘An HTTP error has occurred’

KB ID 0000796 

Problem

Seen on SBS 2011 and Server 2008 R2. When running the WSUS configuration wizard, at the ‘Connect to Upstream Server’ page, connection fails;

An HTTP error occurred Details…

WSUS an HTTP Error Occurred

When viewing details you see;

WebExpeption: The request failed with the error message:
<html><head><title>Object moved</title></head><body>
<h2>Object moved to <a href-“%2fmicrosoftupdate%2fv6ferrorinformation.aspx%3ferrror%3d15”>here</a>.</h2>
</body></html>

Well that’s great, thanks for that?

Solution

1. Nice easy one to fix, download and install this update.

2. In my case it asked for a reboot post install, however if yours does not, I would restart the server and try again. Post reboot it worked fine.
