That's just it, the selfupdate isn't down, and neither is anything else. On a client, do a wuauclt /detectnow, wait a couple minutes, then look at the end of \windows\windowsupdate.log to see what happened.

Never had issues so didn't go looking for problems. From: Carl Houseman [mailto:c.house...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 1:00 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: WSUS Errors in Event Log Almost the same exact problem was reported over on Yahoo's SBS list, and I just checked my WSUS server and I have the same set of errors in the Application log. Selfupdate is reported as down too. However, everything WSUS appears to be working. I asked the WSUS server to update itself, and the windowsupdate.log reports that everything went fine – selfupdate was working. So it appears these errors might not be real, or perhaps transient.
