CF11 Server Update "Not able to connect to Update Site: Connection Failure: Status code unavailable"

We have recently installed CF11 Enterprise (64-bit) on a Windows 2012 (64-bit) Server running IIS 8.5.  When I check for Updates from the ColdFusion Admin I get the following error "Not able to connect to Update Site: Connection Failure: Status code unavailable".

I have verified the Update Site URL under Settings is set to http://www.adobe.com/go/coldfusion-updates.  I have also tried changing this URL to https://cfdownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/xml/updates.xml as someone in a post recommended with no luck.

Please advise, we are trying to apply the latest Update for CF11 and this is holding us back.

Thanks

I gather update5 will be like follows etc for update6 and on.
download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/11/hotfix_005.jar

You can apply the updates manually as well:
-CMD prompt as administrator
-ColdFusion11\jre\bin>java -jar ColdFusion11\cfusion\hf-updates\hotfix_004.jar
-follow the graphic interface

Remember some updates increment the IIS connector so may need to run ColdFusion11\cfusion\runtime\bin\wsconfig.exe as administrator to apply new isapi_redirect.dll. Be mindful if workers.properties has customised settings when using wsconfig.exe tool.

http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/coldfusion/11/hotfix_004.jar

You could try manually download (link above) update4 then place JAR in ColdFusion11\cfusion\hf-updates and run update from within CFadmin.

HTH, Carl.

Thanks Carl! This really helps us start moving. I will try pulling the update manually.  Question... for future updates, how would I be able to find and pull them manually myself.

Thanks Again,
