Failed to upload events with hr = 80244016

Does anyone know why the client is generating this error from the
winodwsupdate log file?

WUS is running on port 80 via the VBS script supplied in the setup folder.
However, the clients cannot receive updates; all are at SP2.

Thanks for any info!

Travis

"Travis",

Are you using Software Update Services? Windows Update uses port 80 and
port 443, but I'm not sure you are referring directly to Windows Update or
even Automatic Updates, which uses Windows Update.

Would you mind clarifying the question? I'll be happy to answer it.

Thanks,

Pat Walters [MSFT]

"Travis",

I am sorry you are running into this failure. When you use the term WUS,
are you referring to Software Update Services, or the Windows Update website?

There is another newsgroup for Software Update Services here:
microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

However, if you are using the Windows Update website, that error essentially
said that the HTTP request was in the wrong syntax. Could you send us the
relevant failure from your Windows Update log? Here's how:

On Windows XP:
1. Close all Internet browsers
2. Open a single Internet Explorer window.
3. In the Internet Explorer window, click Tools
4. Click Windows Update
5. When you reach the Windows Update site, click Custom Install
6. Click Review and Install Updates
7. When presented with multiple updates, uncheck all of them except for one
update (your choice)
8. Look down at the System clock and note the time. Let the minute move
forward one, so that there is no other activity associated with this attempt.
9. Click Install. Wait for Windows Update to fail. If it succeeds, reply
back and let us know.
10. Assuming it failed, Click Start
11. Click Run
12. Type: %WINDIR%\WindowsUpdate.log
13. Press <Enter> or Click OK
14. When the log opens, scroll down to the hour and minute you memorized in
step 8.
15. Starting at the beginning of the first entry for that minute, click and
drag down and to the right selecting the rest of the log.
16. Click Edit, then Copy, or just press the <CTRL> and <C> keys.
17. Reply to this posting.
18. When that window opens, Tell us what update you attempted to install,
and where it failed from your observation.
19. After this, on a new line, state the following and press <Enter>: Log
entries follow:
20. Place the cursor on the line under the entry from step 19, and then
click Edit, then Paste, or just press the <CTRL> and <V> keys.
21. The log entries copied in steps 15-16 should have copied into your
posting.
22. Send it to us, and let us take a look at this failure.

On Windows 2000
Repeat steps 1-22 above, with the following changes:
6. Skip this step
12. The file is "%WINDIR%\Windows Update.log" (please INCLUDE the quotes and
notice the space between windows and update)

On Windows 98
This is identical to Windows 2000, but %windir% does not exist in Windows
98. Instead:
12. Change %WINDIR% to %WINBOOTDIR%

Try Windows Update again, and report the failure if you hit one. Try to
install just one update. Here's how:
We need a little more information. Would you mind running through an
attempted installation on the Windows Update website and sending us back the
results? Here's how:


Sincerely,
