Error 80240440

Error 80240440

Description: The connection to the service endpoint died.

Possible causes
I have seen this error with various firewalls and content inspection devices. Normally the problem is related to the fact that Windows Update Agent is trying to communicate using tcp/8530 or tcp/8531 to the Configuration Manager SUP. The content inspection system thinks that using http or https against non-standard ports is suspect and blocks the connections. 

Remember that even if you have configured WSUS to use https some folders is still transmitted via http. 


Possible solutions
1. Modify the rule set on the inspection device/firewall
2. Add a new WSUS server using default ports (tcp/80 and tcp/443)
