Here's and interesting problem that I encountered this week. I installed Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) a couple of weeks ago on my server. I put the computers into groups and approved all of the updated. I figured I was good to go, but after a week I noticed that I wasn't getting updates at the desktops. Further investigation showed that after I approved the updates the download of the updates failed. After a bit of troubleshooting I determined that the cause was the Gateway Anti-Virus (GAV) and Anti-Spyware (AS) on my SonicWALL TZ170. If I turned the GAV and AS off the updates would download. The troubling part was that the SonicWALL was not logging the failure. I opened a case with SonicWALL and level 1 & 2 support had me try all kinds of things; none of which worked. I finally got to 3rd level support and they had do the following.
Go to http://yoursonicwallip/diag.html Then click on internal settings and check the box for Enable HTTP Byte-Range requests with Gateway AV and apply the change.
This corrected the issue, but I still am waiting on an answer as to why the failure was not being logged. To make things it even more complicated it only seems to be a problem on the Standard OS. I have a client with a TZ170 running the Enhanced OS and WSUS. They have no problems getting the updates to download.
Such is life.

Many thanks.
Thanks a lot for this post, you saved my day!
This has been driving me crazy as of late, finally someone knows! I am so tired of Sonic Wall tier 1 and 2 support...its almost impossible to get to the third level, kudos for having more patience than me.
This did the trick for me also. There is an MS KB on the problem, but it did not elaborate on how where the setting was.
