Issue: I tried to download updates creating a new Software Update Package using a remote SCCM console. SCCM created a folder for the first update under the Package Source folder, but could not download content – failed with ERROR: There was an error downloading the software update. (12029)
Resolution: I checked PatchDownloader.log located in %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Temp\3 folder and found the error saying the content cannot be downloaded from Microsoft Update site.
There is a proxy in the environment. I set proxy settings in IE and content was downloaded successfully.
Note: There is a Proxy Settings in properties of Software Update Point in SCCM. Do not forget to set it up if there is no direct connection to Microsoft Update sites from your SCCM SUP. This settings affects SUP/Microsoft synchronization process only!
To download Software Update Content you have to have proxy configured in IE on the machine you use to run the SCCM console. At least that solve the issue for me.

I had this exact problem and this didn’t fix the problem. I got lucky and decided to search the registry for my proxy because I cleared it out of everywhere I could think of. Sure enough I found it in a SMS reg key. Then I cleared it and and now my ADR’s are working correctly. I had to put my servers on a different vlan so they have a direct connection now, no proxy but oh well at least they work.
I had this exact problem and sure enough, setting the proxy in IE on the workstation used to run the SCCM console worked – thanks.
I had the same problem and the proxy settings in IE on the site server made a difference. Thanks.
Thanks. Save my day
It worked for me. Many Thanks
I too had this issue. Never before have I had to do this; but today I put our proxy into IE on the SCCM site server and it downloaded without error. Thanks for the info!!
