Video Guide for SMS_ISVUPDATES_SYNCAGENT_UPDATECONTENT_NO_METADATA Error



Please review the step-by-step video guide below for information about why the SMS_ISVUPDATES_SYNCAGENT_UPDATECONTENT_NO_METADATA error occurs while publishing third-party software update content and the resolution.



This scenario is also documented on the Microsoft Docs - Third-Party Software Updates Known Issues page.
  • The third-party software update synchronization service can't publish content to metadata-only updates that were added to WSUS by another application, tool, or script, such as SCUP. The Publish third-party software update content action fails on these updates. If you need to deploy third-party updates that this feature doesn't yet support, use your existing process in full for deploying those updates.
