    @fazza
    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service Unavailable.

    The most likely cause is that the WsusPool Application Pool in IIS is in a stopped state.
    Also, the Private Memory Limit (KB) for the Application Pool is probably set to the default value of 1843200 KB. If you encounter this problem, increase the Private Memory Limit to 4GB (4000000 KB) and restart the Application Pool. To increase the Private Memory Limit, select the WsusPool Application Pool and click Advanced Settings under edit Application Pool. Then set the Private Memory Limit to 4GB (4000000 KB).
