WU_E_PT_NO_AUTH_PLUGINS_REQUESTED

WU_E_PT_NO_AUTH_PLUGINS_REQUESTED means the server did not provide any authentication information that the Windows Update Agent could use. This is a server-side protocol or authentication-configuration problem, not merely a bad password.

What to check

  • Inspect WSUS, IIS, and proxy authentication settings for the endpoint serving the request.
  • Check the response and server logs to determine whether an intermediary removed or altered authentication headers.
  • Compare a failing client with a working client that uses the same service and network path.
