Software Updates deployment does not work in an SCCM Environment configured for HTTP (no certificates used for client communication). On SCCM clients there is an error “0x800244017” in WUAHandler.log.
(“http://[SUP FQDN]:8530//SimpleAuthWebService/SimpleAuth.asmx”) from the client an HTTP 403 error is displayed.
SOLUTION:
Open IE Management Console on the SUP and deactivate the SSL Option for the WSUS Administration website.
