WSUS can't download EULA

[Ant]

Not sure where this thread sould be, so I'm sticking it in here!

I have recently upgraded from SUS to WSUS at work, though I have an annoying problem.

When trying to approve XP SP2 and a couple of removal tools for install, I get told its not possible as WSUS cannot download the EULA. Or specifically: "Error: This update cannot be approved for installation because its End User License Agreement (EULA) failed to download." This comes up where you would normally just accept the eula.

I set up another WSUS server to have a play with, wondering whether our internet filter was blocking something, but that one had no problems.

It will quite happily set the approval to Detect only, but that doesn't help me.

Any of you use WSUS? Heard of this problem before? I did have a look around with google, found there are other people out there with the same problem, but am yet to find an answer. Its getting very frustrating!

Its Server 2003 btw...

Thanks

Guess not...

Well anyways, I managed to find out through some else how to fix my problem.

If anyone gets this problem or just interested, this is what I did:

Turns out the folder or volume where the WSUS content is stored, requires full access to "Everyone" and "System".

Seems a bit silly and unsecure to me, but after I did that, I was able to accept the EULA, and WSUS proceeded to download SP2 to distribute out to the network.
