WSUS; Clients Will Not Download Fall Creators Update 1709
When the fall Creators update came out I found that my two machines that I normally test major new updates like this would not download the update. They would check in with the WSUS server, find the update there, but then just stall at 0% downloading the update for a very long time before failing. Come to find out, the major updates like the Fall Creators 1709 come across the wire from Microsoft as a different file type which required me to create a new mime type for IIS. Steps follow:
- Launch Control Panel --> Administrator Tools --> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
- Click on the name of your server in the left hand pane so that it loads the ASP.Net and IIS modules in the pane to the right.
- Double click the MIME Types module
- Scroll down through the list of Extensions to see if you have one for .esd
- If .esd is not there, do the following:
- Choose Add... in the right hand Actions pane
- For File name extension: enter
- .esd
- For MIME type: enter
- application/octet-stream
