Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent of type (2) and Error = 0x87d00692.

by

When I tried to push some software updates via SCCM, I can successfully deploy, but the client has no activities on the software update.

First I found out that Windows update is not enabled in “Client Settings” for our workstations(When I looked at Locationservices.log there's no WSUS Path)

Then I got this error message:  “Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent of type (2) and Error = 0x87d00692.”  from WUAHandler.log

We have a few WSUS servers, and I was using the WSUS within the SCCM Server, apparently our domain group policy has restricted one specific WSUS for the workstations, so I have to start over again to use that WSUS server to publish software updates…

 

Here is an excellent article on troubleshooting SCCM Software Updates:

  1. We have had this issue in my business environment and we did not have any WSUS GPOs configured.
    Finally, we detected a GPO that affects the behavior of the SCCM client and that caused the error “group policy settings were overwritten by a higher authority (domain controller)”
    The GPO in particular is:
    “Computer Configuration \ System \ Group Policy \ Configure registry policy processing” we have changed this GPO to Not Configured to solve the error.
    I hope I have helped.
    Best regards
