0x800710DD error trying to run windows updates

Judging from the numerous other postings here it is quite obvious this is a
very serious problem that is not being addressed properly at MS.
I too have the problem and am looking for a reason why when I did not change
any settings except to download the "new" download software.

I encountered this, amongst other "un-supported" problems. The general
fix I've found is to manually erase my "client" PCs WU/AU config - and
start fresh.

I find that if I do the steps below to my workstations, they behave
properly thereafter..


1) Remove Registry key:
\\LM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Win dowsUpdate

2) Remove Registry key:
\\LM\Software\Microsoft\Policies\Microsoft\Windows \WindowsUpdate\AU


3) Workstations NOW report in WindowsUpdate.log that AU is not
configured. Configure the stupid thing.

3b) To config the stupid thing, I go Start-> ControlPanel->
AutomaticUpdates.. and "enable" the Automatic Updates.


My environment is:

MS-SmallBusiness Server 2003, with Active Directory. Group Policies set
to "enforce" AU/WUS setup..

... so, why step 3b) (above) is required.. is beyond me. But it looks
like the patching will happen. Yay.



Problem:

The WUSAdmin site still dosen't "show" these computers that are now
communicating with the WUS "site" without error. Damned if I dunno why..?




So, those of you with bizarre client errors -- I suggest forcing the
WU/AU client(s) to re-do their config from scratch. It's the most
promising approach to fixing bizarre, undocumented errors (like
800710dd).. in my opinion.



More research and community feedback on this would be *VERY* helpful, to
all of us -- I think!

Thanks,

-- Scott.

Yes, I can document when I see this error.. it occurs every 5 minutes,
per my logs.

Here's a snippet from one desktop log (they all seem to be the same..)

Anything you can offer, as advice would be greatly appreciated, Mohammed..


Peace,
