Kurtas,
The system is seeking updates from the intranet server plus the latest
Windows Update Agent is not installed yet.
NOTE: *** IF WSUS is being used to update the Client systems then you
should *NOT* change/delete the intranet server. Consult the Admin if
this is the case ***
Try this ... go to Start > Run > type in
gpedit.msc
Click OK or press Enter
Click the plus signs next to -
Computer Configuration
Administrative Templates
Windows Components
Click on Windows Update
In the right frame locate ' Specify intranet Microsoft update service
location '
Right click it and choose Properties
It should be marked as Enabled and show
http://edgeeng
Delete
http://edgeeng wherever it shows and then put a mark next to
" Not Configured "
Click Apply, OK, and close the Group Policy window
Stop the Automatic Updates service by going to
Start > Run > type in
net stop wuauserv
Click OK or press Enter
Enable show hidden files, folders, and system files:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html#winxp
Go to Start > Run > type in
%windir%\softwaredistribution
Click OK or press Enter
Delete ALL of the *subfolders* of SoftwareDistribution
Close the window
* NOTE: This will delete the update history shown on the
Windows/Microsoft Update sites *
Download and save BOTH of these updates:
Windows Update Agent for x86 [32 bit]
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237
KB927891
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A
When the downloads complete, close the browser and any other open programs
Install the Windows Update Agent first
Install KB927891 and then restart the system
IF the Automatic Updates service is set to Automatic, then it should
have Started again on reboot. Check in the Services console to confirm
that it has.
If yes, then either go to Windows Update [ the subfolders of
SoftwareDistribution will be recreated now ] or, Start > Run > type in
wuauclt /detectnow
Click OK or press Enter
That should bring down any needed updates
