WSUS - Server 2012 R2
-
I have seen that error or something similar from my workstation. It required deleting the cache for the mmc snapin.
-
Based on this my guess would be the firewall is block connections locally. . . .
-
Is the error when you run this from the console, or from RSAT tools from another machine?

I agree. I would definitely disable the firewall to see if it resolves it.

Using the local console via RDP. Can't open WSUS and have it connect.
-
Yet this is saying the firewall isn't the issue. . .
And the firewall has exceptions for the WSUS ports. . .
-
I could delete the file at %appdata%\Microsoft\MMC called "wsus" but I don't know if that is actually the issue.

@dustinb3403 - If it isn't, the only problem is that you will have to recreate your custom update views, if you have any. So it won't hurt to try
Edit: These are what I am referring to -

Nope, removing the file simply removed the connection with MMC so now I don't even see the WSUS server (from which I'm running MMC and WSUS)
And I can't connect to the WSUS from MMC on this WSUS server. . . .
-
Not that I saw the server, but I saw the server and had the error in the OP.
-
Restoring the file gets me back to the error in the OP.

Open MMC, File Add/Remove Snap-in > update services..
Now you've created a new one.

That works, but im still unable to connect to the WSUS server (localhost, or ip or by fqdn)
-
anything in the event log?
-
What is the status of the actual Windows Firewall service?

Try restarting IIS, SQL and update services
Which I've done and the error above in the code block.
