Already done that, as noted in my bullet-point list. No dice.

Subject: WSUS/WU error
Hi chaps
I am continually getting an error of
"0x800703E3" when trying to download updates via WSUS or Windows Update
to about three of my servers. All the usual stuff doesn't seem to work,
I have tried:-
* Deleting SoftwareDistribution folder
* Re-registering WSUS dlls
* Re-installing the Windows Update Agent
with the /wuforce switch
* Running the AUCheck utility from
CodePlex (which seemed really promising but didn't seem to do anything)
Googling doesn't seem to give me any useful
results. These machines were all clones of each other, but removing the
SusID from the Registry solved all that stuff - and that's all to do
with appearing in the WSUS console as I remember, not picking up
updates. WindowsUpdate.log always seems to show these entries:-

Anyone have any ideas? I am ready to tear them
down and rebuild but I'd hate to pick up the same error again. I was
going to cross-post this to the Patch Management list but couldn't
handle the flood of OOF messages....
TIA,
JRR
