Not specific to this error or anything.. but something I always try is downloading the latest Windows Update Agent and install it. That has resolved a lot of issues for me:

I have a fresh install, and it's doing it. After spending a day messing with it, I rebuilt it and same thing. Fresh install, nothing custom. The error code is 80072EE2. I've google it for several hours, and none of the suggestions I've found work. Weird thing is it will randomly work, but not consistantly. This is running inside a VMWare ESX box. That shouldn't matter I don't think. It's not part of the domain yet, so no GPOs are applied. Any ideas? Anyone seen this before? Things I've tried: - Rebuild - Add 8530 to windows firewall - Turn off windows firewall - Restart windows update service - Install Server 2008 SP2 - Delete the windows update temp directory - Turn off all the IE security settings that I could find Thanks in advance, Jon ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
