8024401B error

I receive the 8024401B error when I try to install updates from windows
update site.
I searched the KB, and it looks like this error is due to some proxy
authentication.
The problem is our proxy does not have any kind of authentication, its main
purpose is caching.

Could you please help me to fix this issue??

"AMS",

Absolutely. First, try this on the client machines:

Conventions:
- In these instructions, keys on the keyboard are wrapped, such as: <Enter>,
so an instruction of: Type: cmd <Enter> means type the three letters cmd and
then press <Enter>.
- Combinations such as <Ctrl>+<S> and <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<End> mean to press and
hold the keys in order while then pressing the last key. For example, press
the <Ctrl> key and hold, then press the <Shift> key and hold, and then press
the <End> key as if you were typing a single letter of the alphabet.
- When accessing the registry, the word "Expand" means to click on the plus
sign in front of any given key.

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type: cmd <Enter>
4. In the Command Prompt, type: proxycfg.exe -d <Enter> <-This will
flush the proxy cache and set it to direct access.
5. Type: proxycfg.exe -u <Enter> <-This will set the proxy configuration
to the same settings that you are using for Windows Update.

Please write back and let us know how this goes.

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]
