Re: WS2K3 - Critical Updates won't download

OK, will do.

I managed to download and install the 6 high priority updates in question
manually with no problem.

Thanks for your help with this.

Hi again

I just tried again. Of 7 critical (high priority) updates, 6 failed to
download, but the other (an update to Windows Defender defenitions)
downloaded and installed correctly.

Is this a sudden, new problem or an ongoing one? Is Automatic Updates
enabled?
