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



Hi Charles,

did you check your security settings in IE for all the neccessary microsoft
URLs?
It is advisable to add the following URLs to your trusted zones:

http://download.windowsupdate.com
https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://*.update.microsoft.com
http://*.download.microsoft.com

regards
