It’ll nuke(check) the catalog and download any metadata (inc. Licenses) or updates that are corrupt or missing.
What I have done in the past (and may not be a great idea) is manually delete the metadata from the child sups before doing a reset and resync. In my case the SUPs were practically dead anyway so I wasn’t too bothered, and it worked without having to remove and re-add them all. Then also make sure you schedule a synchronization instead of just running a sync, as the scheduled synch actually does more stuff in the background. (at least it was the case in 2007, I haven’t had any major sup problems in 2012 yet!)

Got the issue that my hierarchy isn’t syncing any WS2012R2 metadata (and therefor no updates). Thought about just nuking the catalogue.

In the main updates view you can also filter for updates that have a license agreement attached. Then you can right-click and review/agree if required. You can also use wsusutil reset to force these to download again.

I cleaned up all the wsus metadata from the downstream sites, re-accepted all the license agreement at top level and then scheduled a full resync. Did the trick. I was getting this exact message on a child site.

Has anyone seen this before? Not finding much in my research online. Thanks, Brian
