Problem – the Microsoft software license terms have not been completely downloaded

SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER state is critical even if it worked in the previous months. Wsyncmgr.log shows the error on 2 updates : The Microsoft Software License Terms have not been completely downloaded and cannot be accepted

Environment in use when this issue occurs

SCCM 2012 R2
SQL 2012
Windows 2012 R2

The Microsoft Software License Terms have not been completely downloaded and cannot be accepted

Event viewer/Application Logs shows Access Denied errors on a different patch.

Resolution of this issue

The Wsuscontent directory was missing an NTFS permission. I added the “Network Service” account full control on the directory and sub-directory and launch a new sync. Everything sync successfully.

All the details come from Technet :

The following permissions are configured during WSUS setup, and are important for BITS downloads to work:

The root folder on the drive where the WSUSContent folder resides (for example, <%windir%>\WSUS\WSUSContent) must have Read permissions for either the Users account or the NT Authority\Network Service account (on Windows 2003). If this permission is not set, BITS downloads will fail. Note: this is the permission that WSUS setup does not configure, so make sure the permissions are set as described here

This is an excellent bit of information. Took over an SCCM 2012 SP2 environment and the NETWORK SERVICE account was not set with full access to the WSUS content folder. Thank you very much for this post!

THANK YOU! This was my issue exactly! I have followed blog post after blog post and my issue persisted. My WSUSConent folder did not have the NETWORK SERVICE account added . I am testing now, hopefully this will fix my on-going WSUS issues! Thanks!
