Failed, UPDATE_VER_IS_EMPTY

This morning I saw that a few of my remote users that pull updates directly from Eset had a newer signature than the server, so I tried to fire off an event to update the RAS only to be greeted with the message "Failed, UPDATE_VER_IS_EMPTY". Clearing the update cache didn't change this behavior. Does anyone know what is going on there?

RAS 3.0.39

 

A little more info since I looked through the event log and starting around 6am this morning it began loggging the error

Error: "Update failed, code: 4, aditional code 0x2201, aditional description UPDATE_VER_IS_EMPTY"

every hour when it tries to update.

 

Well it looks like the mirror servers are overloaded and failing again since I can mash the update now button and after the 13th mirror it tried it actually started pulling in the new .nup files. Fantastic.

 

I have the same problem in Office 2, in Office 1 update on RAS work fine! This tip don't help me How to fix this bug?

 

This problem seems to crop up on days when a larger module update gets released and the update servers get hit hard. Just keep hitting update until you get a server that has capacity. Alternatively, since you have two RACs you could set up a VPN tunnel between the sites (or just the two machines) and point one to pull updates off the other in the event that you are experiencing this issue.

 

This problem shouldn't occur if ERAS downloads V3 updates only.

 

I only mirror v3 updates and have seen this behavior on August 10th, August 14th, August 15th 2008 as well as on January 8th starting at 6am EST until 12pm EST and most recently on January 28th from 6am to 7am EST.

 

I can backup SmackyTheFrog for the 28th EST:
