We performed an OS Upgrade from 2012 R2 to 2019 on our WSUS Server a couple weeks ago. There were issues with WSUS after the upgrade that we started to troubleshoot on our own, but we had to open a case with Microsoft for a resolution. During our troubleshooting, we ran the "WsusUtil.exe movecontent E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\ -skipcopy" to update the WSUSContent location but now the SUSDB & Registry do not appear to line up the IIS Content location.
SUSDB: E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\WSUSContent\
Registry: E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\
IIS Content: E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\
WSUSContent Share: E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\
UpdateServicesPackages Share: E:\WSUS\UpdateServicesPackages\
After the OS Upgrade and after review the logs, we thought WSUS was publishing correctly and let it Patch My PC publish updates for a couple weeks but after further research, we determined we're getting the following error:
The publishing failed with error: CreateDirectory failed (timestamping was enabled). We will attempt to publish the update again with timestamping disabled.
CreateDirectory failed. ErrorCode:-2147467259 NativeErrorCode:1130 HResult:-2147467259 MethodName:CreateDirectory. This error appears to be a known error. Please see our KB article https://patchmypc.com/an-error-occurred-while-publishing-an-update-to-wsus-createdirectory-failed for the resolution.
After doing some research and reviewing this article, we believe the settings should be the following:
SUSDB: E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\
Registry: E:\WSUS\
IIS Content: E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\
WSUSContent Share: E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\
UpdateServicesPackages Share: E:\WSUS\UpdateServicesPackages\
We have third party update content in both the E:\WSUS\WSUSContent and E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\WSUSContent directories. We are little worried about running the WsusUtil.exe again and overwriting the original E:\WSUS\WSUSContent directory (and potentially another WSUS Scan Storm).
After doing some research, we believe we need to run WsusUtil.exe again with the following command: "WsusUtil.exe movecontent E:\WSUS\ -skipcopy" and then manually copy the content from E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\WSUSContent\ to the E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\ to ensure that we don't overwrite the original E:\WSUS\WSUSContent\ directory. We would like to verify these steps before proceeding. We appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
