WU_E_DM_UNAUTHORIZED_LOCAL_USER
WU_E_DM_UNAUTHORIZED_LOCAL_USER means that the download service rejected the local-user context associated with the request. The first task is to identify which authorization boundary denied it.
How to investigate
- Check the access logs and policy for the WSUS server, proxy, or content gateway serving the update.
- Verify that the expected user or device identity is authorized for the configured update service.
- Do not treat this as a generic BITS failure; the request reached an authorization decision.
