To do the rename, you have to stop the Automatic Update service, and then
rename the file WindowsUpdate.log in %Windir% that is probably c:\Windows.
Don't forget to restart the service after renaming the file. You can rename
it whatever you want (ex. WindowsUpdate.log.bak).

And the problem happened to me too... Since June 14, Automatic Update wasn't
able to update my 45 computers except for one only.
