WU_E_REDIRECTOR_CONNECT_POLICY

WU_E_REDIRECTOR_CONNECT_POLICY means the client did not make the redirector connection because managed policy prohibits it. This is an expected enforcement result, not a network outage.

What to verify

  • Review the effective setting for Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations.
  • Confirm whether the device is intended to use only an intranet update service or whether it must reach Microsoft Update.
  • Change the policy only when that is consistent with the organization's update design and security controls.
