Error when using windows update

I have encountered this error also. Was setting up a new server and after applying the service pack, the windows update would generate the exact same error codd. However from another box, an update would be successful. I suspect that the issue may be something that Microsoft has implemented as a protection scheme. (this is a guess at this point) The server I was working with had been installed with a Key Code which duplicated another system. They had valid licenses, but had used the same key code to install the OS.

To get around the error, I generated the usual list of updates, then I wrote down the Q numbers of each update. Then I did a search for those q updates and installed the needed files manually.

This is not an answer,but it may give you something to work with.

Ok that could be something, but I'm using an volume key so it should't be a keycode problem...
And your right it works from other machines on the same network...
Strange error this, thanks I'll look for the Qnumber and download them one by one, ittakes a little more tim thou
