WSUS clients may receive invalid responses from a Windows Server 2003 SP1-based computer that is running WSUS, and the clients cannot connect to the WSUS server
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) clients try to connect to a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computer that is running WSUS. When the WSUS clients try to connect, the WSUS server may send invalid responses. Therefore, the WSUS clients cannot establish a connection with the WSUS server because the WSUS clients received invalid responses.
This problem occurs because of a race condition that occurs in the Microsoft Internet Information Service (IIS) 6.0 HTTP service.
To resolve this problem, install the hotfix that is described in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 898708.
