WU client failed Searching for update with error 0x80244018

I installed an ISA Server with a single NIC config and wanted it to hit my internal WSUS server for updates but when i ran a wuauclt /detectnow at the commandline my windowsupdate.log file would give me this erroneous error.


Error Message:

Error:
WU client failed Searching for update with error 0x80244018


Solution:
The Issue is related to the fact the ISA firewall is locked down to the max by default and so its being blocked.
By following this article Link Here
You need to allow http, https and kerberos-sec UDP in a new access rule from localhost to your wsus box and that fixes the errors for a wsus update.
