CAUSE
This problem may occur if you have installed the hotfix and
added the registry keys that are described in the following Microsoft Knowledge
Base article:
297324 Multiple authentication dialog boxes are displayed when you use access control
The problem occurs because the SUS Synchronization
service does not retry proxy connection requests if the proxy server does not
send a "Proxy Authentication Required" error message. Although the proxy
credentials are set, the SUS Synchronization service first tries to use an
anonymous request. When the call fails with the "Proxy Authentication Required"
error message, the service submits the proxy credentials. Otherwise, the SUS
Synchronization service does not submit the proxy credentials.
