Jabez,

I rebooted in SAFE Mode so that I could rename the SoftwareDistribution
folder. After renaming the folder, I rebooted my server in standard mode. I
then went to Windows Update, had the service check for the latest updates, it
detected Windows Server 2003 SP2. I downloaded it (i wanted to get a fresh
copy). Then I went through the update process and it Failed again. :-(
Bummer...

Is there some type of security audit I can run that reset registry settings
to the defaults (e.g., secedit)

I tried including the log files but there is a little to the size of an
email you can post. Is it possible I can email you the files? my email is
steve.romankiw@xxxxxxxxxx

Thanks.

Steve

PS. I appreciate the time and effort

Hey Steve,

Please stop the service Automatic update and rename the SoftwareDistribution
folder, and re-start the Automatic Update service.

If it still fails, try rebootign to safe mode and see if you can do the
installation there... If it fails, post the latest 2 log files ;)
