Re: Cannot update using V6 of Windows Update on Windows 2003

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

See:

You cannot download updates when you access the Windows Update Web site from a Windows XP-based computer that is behind a firewall or a proxy server:

Hi There

I am having similar problems to others but with a difference. Since V6 has
come out of Windows Update on some servers in my network the download fails
and in the windowsupdate.log I get :

2005-07-19 17:15:53 1000 184 DnldMgr WARNING: Download job failed because of
proxy auth or server auth.
2005-07-19 17:15:53 1000 184 DnldMgr Error 0x80244017 occurred while
downloading update; notifying dependent calls.

on a particular machine I then manually installed the update for BITS and
WINHTTP (KB842773) with the hopes that it might help, now when I go to the
windows update site it is stuck on the screen saying "checking for the
latest updates", and I can now see in the Windowsupdate.log:

2005-07-19 17:25:10 1000 494 Misc WARNING: WinHttp:
SendRequestToServerForFileInformation failed with 0x80190191
2005-07-19 17:25:10 1000 494 Misc WARNING: WinHttp: ShouldFileBeDownloaded
failed with 0x80190191

However, I have other Windows 2003 servers where the dowloads and updates
work without a problem???

I have added http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.com
http://update.microsoft.com
https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
https://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

to my Trusted list.

I am using NetIQ Webmarshal as a proxy and the user account I am using has
rights to download and browse anything.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Gillian
