First off, great project and thanks for the hard work in adding features and addressing problems. Here's the scenario:
We have our main server 2k8 R2 WSUS server that downloads MS patches and stores them locally. We can publish MS and third party patches to our Win 7 clients with no problems from that server. We proceeded to set up a replica 2k8 R2 server and it does synchronize and show both MS and the third party patches published from the upstream server, however, all third party patches show the path in the Folder field red and the string in the Id field orange. WSUS clients directed to that server are unable to detect the third party update packages but if pointed to the upstream server they have no problem detecting/installing them. We noticed that this is caused because the cab files are not being replicated, if we copy the cab files manually from the upstream server then the field clears the red status but once a WSUS synchronization is performed the files are deleted. MS patching works fine from the replica server. Both servers and clients are using the same 2048 bit self signed certificate that was generated on the main upstream server. Any input on what the problem maybe?
