We have cloud-based Software Vulnerability Research (Previously Software Vulnerability Manager). I have some updates that I've attempted to publish to WSUS multiple times, but they always come back as "failed". Upon checking the logs for the SVM daemon service (svmpd.log), I see lines like:
[2/13/2020 3:38:49 PM|V] TRACE: UpdateTaskAsync a3f8dc4b-291a-4175-a9be-cdecdcb492ed, Failed,

The log then shows a stack trace:

So, it appears that something keeps getting stuck during the WSUS publishing process. Some updates are making it through and getting published, however. I'm assuming it's just something with particular updates, but I don't know how to fix it. Any ideas? (Note... "invalid HTML" was automatically stripped from this post when I posted it)
