VPM error

[Stefano_Colombo]

We have problems with VPM.
When it tries to download the patches from microsoft it fails because of a page redirection or for other similar reason ( ie the page contains links to the actual fix to download.

The following is an extract of the log

Shouldn't VPM be able to download them directly ?
Wouldn't be better if it can download them from an HP site ?

Is there a way to solve the problem ?

thanks

Hi Stefano,

Other than these errors found, were you able to download some patches? You can double check on Diagnose -> Vulnerability and Patch Management -> View Patch Repository.
Btw, was the acquire settings correctly configured? Make sure the proxy was set, go to Options > Vulnerability and Patch Management > Settings. If it wasn't, start the acquire again and verify if the problem has gone.

Thanks,
Lucas

The server has direct access to internet , no proxy tough.
