Hello Robert,

This services/port are already added with Application MS-SMS. So, you have to allow ms-sms application on the security profile in order to allow/identify WSUS 6.2 traffic.

Description: System Center Configuration Manager, formerly Systems Management Server (SMS), is a systems management software product by Microsoft for managing large groups of Windows-based computer systems. SMS provides remote control, patch management, software distribution, and hardware and software inventory.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

It appears ports 8530 and 8531 have been removed again from app-id ms-sms as of 6/1/2018.

I contacted support and they confirmed this.  Unfortunately, they could not provide a reason why.  I ended up having to perform an application override for ms-sms to use ports 8530 and 8531 for my Windows Updates to work again.
