Question : WSUS Upstream Sync Error

I have a WSUS 3.0 on an SBS 2003 server.  I have just installed WSUS 3.0 on thre addition 2003 R2 server which all will be downstream.  When walking through the setup wizard I get a long error starting with "The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden.  I have entered the correct name and left the default port of 80.

Answer : WSUS Upstream Sync Error

Instead of using port 80, you should be using SSL on port 8531 (the default WSUS SSL port).
