I've had a server running WSUS 3.0 sp1 for many months with no issue. It was running on a domain controller which no longer need to be a DC. I removed the DC role from the server and now clients no longer receive updates. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling WSUS, but it hasn't helped. I've checked permissions/security on folders/registry/IIS according to Microsoft documentation. The client WindowsUpdate.log has an error with GetAuthorizationCookie, which I've included below. I know the issue is related to removing the DC role. What can I do to fix this issue?
