Zenwork 2020 sp3 patchmanagement new feed, error download.exe. Exit code: -1

Zenworks patch management 20.3, new feed.
Problem is that a lot of managed Windows devices get's a error when applying patches.
Error is: Failed to launch C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\zpm\download.exe.  Exit code: -1

Any suggestions?

    It looks like device tries to download from satellite but fails, then from primary where it fails too with a certificate warning (certificate is all right as far as I can see).

    I see this error in patchdownload<date>.log

    The satellite is trying to download from primary but fails with this error

    "[ERROR] [05/11/2023 11:39:16.944] [3274] [OnDemandContentProxy] [98773] [root] [ZENworksCDN] [Unable to create file for streaming] [] [] [] [OnDemandContent]

    We are prefetching all content, or at least we are trying to do that.

    Primary server got plenty of disk space and I can't see that they are too busy.

    Have you applied 959 to your Primaries?  That is the latest cumulative patch and really a must-have for both Primaries and Satellites.

    Note: I:m not saying it will address this issue, but I would consider it a baseline before troubleshooting.
