DSS WSUS server fail to download Updates HTTP status 404: The requested URL does not exist on the server.

When managing a Downstream WSUS server , it may happen that when a patch is approved it tried to immediately download it form the source server (USS)

Sometime we see errors in event viewer stating that the the download failed

Event ID: 364

Content file download failed.
Reason: HTTP status 404: The requested URL does not exist on the server.

Source File: /Content/6E/72131F469F73C884B32124746BAFCA2C8E0A106E.cab
Destination File: E:\WSUS\WsusContent\6E\72131F469F73C884B32124746BAFCA2C8E0A106E.cab


 Event ID 10032

The server is failing to download some updates.

We also see following entries in softwaredistribution.log

What i have noticed is a retry after sometime fixes this, it appears that when the DSS tries to download he updates from USS , USS is already busy downloading form the Internet , so some files which DSS is requesting from USS have not been downloaded yet cause the error on DSS.

In this case time is what you need . 

I have seen that error disappears itself after DSS retries the download at later point in time.

Hope this helps

Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070534 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done

One of our servers was losing the Local Admin settings as we control them using GPO (restricted Groups) We were receiving the following event on this particular server : Event ID 4098 Application Event Log The computer 'Administrators (built-in)' preference item in the 'Servers Local Admins {odjd9DBD-22AF-48EA-ADF5-F42ADE4182hst}' Group Policy Object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070534 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.' This error was suppressed. To fix the issue we deleted all the folders from the following location and rebooted the server C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Group Policy\History Hope this helps.
