Re: Windows Updates fails to connect with Vista
That just means it is a WSUS issue. Go back and check within IIS that the virtual directory has the correct permissions and that it is not shutdown for some reason. I did find references to some WSUS client and server diagnosictics on the Microsoft site but would never would have even looked if Event ID had not told me they existed. They did help me find and fix my issue.
