Event ID 36888

Problem

This was driving me nuts on my Windows 7 x64 Laptop.

Log Name: System
Source: Schannel
Event ID: 36888
Task Category: None
Level: Error
User: SYSTEM
Description:
The following fatal alert was generated: 10. The internal error state is 10.

I was getting a dozen of these an hour!

Solution

This error is caused (from what I can gather) by an error in certificate negotiation, your machine is trying to initiate communications with another machine/server using a certificate and TLS and the process is producing this error TLS1_ALERT_UNEXPECTED_MESSAGE (10).

1. If your browser is the cause of the problem, then simply open Internet Options > Advanced > Untick all the TLS options > Apply.

2. However this DID NOT WORK for me, so something is programmatically chatting from my laptop using TLS. The bottom line is, this problem is probably not even on your machine, so I’m simply going to disable SCHANNEL logging.

Note: If your Error does NOT say “The following fatal alert was generated: 10. The internal error state is 10“. then I would suggest NOT doing this.

3. In the search run box type regedit and navigate to the following key;

[box]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Control > SecurityProviders > SCHANNEL
[/box]

Change the EventLogging value from 1 to 0 (that’s a zero).

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…

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.
