Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. Ultimately I discovered that since
I setup Surf control Web Filter on the server and had blocked a suspicious
site named watson.microsoft.com 65.54.206.49 and two variants such as
watson296.watson.microsoft.com 65.54.206.48, and possibly some domains at
207.46.xxx.xxx, I was blocking the updates. By unblocking them I could
obtain Win Updates - but I find it odd that these sites are not listed by
microsoft as part of the Win Updates.
