System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable. at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.HealthMonitoring.HmtWebServices.CheckContentDirWebAccess(EventLoggingType type, HealthEventLogger logger)

System Log:


every minute one informational event: A worker process serving application pool ‘WsusPool’ has requested a recycle because it reached its private bytes memory limit.
until the service terminates: Application pool ‘WsusPool’ is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.

When I restart the application pool, the error occurs after about 10-20 minutes.

Solution: increase the “Private Memory Limit”

Location: Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager -> Server -> Application Pools -> Select “WSUSPool” -> Actions Advanced -> Recycling -> Change value of “Private Memory Limit (KB)

after the limit has been raised, everything went without problems.

This server serves over 10.000 clients with Windows updates.
