Windows Update error - 0x80072f8f
I get this error while trying to update a copy of windows7 professional. My time IS correct, syncronized to the windows time server.
I work as a navy contractor. I hardened this machine per DISA's hardening requirements. This means some things get disabled, like "automatic updates" Lots of netowork protocol stuff gets edited in the secuirty policy also. I should (i think) still be able to update the machine by clicking the windows update button though. "BITS" works, and the "windows update" service is up, but no worky.
Second thing it may be... The install is not-yet activated. We have a number of identical machines here and I'm trying to make a depolyable image. After I deploy the image, I can activate each with a seperate license. Would the system NOT being activated be an issue?
I tried the un-hardened fresh install of the operating system and windows update works just fine. It's a security setting or something somewhere.
Any ideas? Please tell me you have ideas.
