SCCM 2012 1602 (current branch) standalone Primary site with separate site server, WSUS, MP, and DPs. Just did a site backup, in-place server OS upgrades to 2012 R2, and a full site recovery. Everything seems to be fine except for updates. Yes, I installed SQL 2012 SP3 CU2 and the KB3095113 (from memory) hotfix ahead of enabling the Win10 servicing upgrades option in the SUP site components.
Site status error: WSUS Control Manager failed to monitor WSUS Server "<WSUS FQDN>".
Possible cause: WSUS Server version 3.0 SP2 or above is not installed or cannot be contacted.
Solution: Verify that the WSUS Server version 3.0 SP2 or greater is installed. Verify that the IIS ports configured in the site are same as those configured on the WSUS IIS website
I noticed that I was missing the SMS Distribution Points Pool from the IIS application pool, as well as the SMS_DP_SMSPKG$ and SMS_DP_SMSSIG$ applications. I was able to manually create the app pool, but when I attempt to manually re-create the applications, I get the following:
"The application path cannot contain the following character: \, ?, ;, :, @, &, =, +, $, ,, |, ", <, >, *."
Additionally, when I attempt to "Test Settings", Authentication passes just fine, but Authorization states:
"Cannot verify access to path (C:\SCCMContentLib)."
...even though my domain account, the computer account, and Local Service accounts have read&write access.
Is there any way to manually re-create these applications? I have removed and re-added the SUP role from the WSUS box a few times now without any luck. When setting back up I specified to use the port settings for SQL 2012. Previously it was using SQL 2008.
