Just checked the WSUS server and didn't find any errors. When you went to your selfupdate site, did you do this in IE? When I type in the site name into IE I receive the following:
HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.

I got a clue to the issue from looking up the error codes I found on my WSUS server. Seems the selfupdate site was shutdown.

When we do we receive Error Code 80072EFD. When looking into that error, it mentions that the update.microsoft.com <http://update.microsoft.com/> (and others) needs to be placed into the firewall... which they have been. Disabled VIPRE and the Windows Firewall, restarted the wuauserv and renamed the softwaredistribution folder and still can't get Vista to update. All our XP machines are able to get to the update site without any problems. Any ideas? _____________________________ Cameron Cooper IT Director - CompTIA A+ Certified Aurico Reports, Inc Phone: 847-890-4021 Fax: 847-255-1896 [email protected] ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
