Hotfix service is down about autospsourcebuilder HOT 6 OPEN

Not sure what you mean. Do you have any references/links? I actually work for Microsoft and haven't heard about this.

Well, the problem occurred on downloading SharePoint 2013 April 2013 CU. When I try to go to the address on AppSourceBuilder.xml, I get the error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. It's obvious that it's not about the file or a part of url, but about the hotfixv4 CNAME. It doesn't exist anymore.

Then I took a look on the first page of Google Search and I see these articles 1, 2, 3. Microsoft Update Catalog does not have all the updates because of the ex hotfix service.

I had to delete every line that includes the hotfixv4 and go on with that for testing. That's just a workaround though. The issue is bigger than the script, so it might be a good way to use a workaround at all.

This also affects the prerequisites based on the https://hotfixv4.trafficmanager.net url.

SP2013
KB2708075 447698_intl_x64_zip.exe
KB2472264 427087_intl_x64_zip.exe

Without having these files already in the target directory any fresh build of a SP2013 slipstreamed install media will fail. (As mentioned: download will fail)

Umm, I believe we need to test if the installation can be completed without the erroring hotfixes and updates. If not, we might need to find somewhere else distributing the missing ones.

Hi. Any news?

from autospsourcebuilder.

You should give the current version a try (build a fresh slipstreamed media). The hotfixes located at https://hotfixv4.trafficmanager.net/... are commented out. Maybe the hotfix is no longer required or applicable for a fully patched Windows Server OS.
