Happy new year everyone.
I have 2 identical machines using W2K. Both are in a SBS 2003 domain. I get
the error 0x80072F78 when trying to update throung the Windows Update Page.
I already try to update the machines connecting directly to the Internet.
Both update fine, but when returning them to the domain I get the same error.
The W2K and SBS 2003 Premium are the Spanish versions.

After opening ISA for all
http://*.download.windowsupdate.com
http://*update.microsoft.com
etc....
Turn off the firewall client when running the
http://update.microsoft.com
this seems to fix the problem (often)...

PS:

Working on two very similar 2k Clients I just noticed that the client I did
not update with downloaded files before using the update.microsoft.com all
the updates worked fine.
For the first Client I used rollups, .net 2 and other downloaded fixes. On
this Client I (as usual) had to manually download IE 6, the new installer
(3?) and the BITS before the update site would work at all. After critical
updates the update site failed (and still do) on most of the updates I had
done from downloaded fixes.
This should teach me something?
