Genuine Windows Validation

I just upgraded my windows 2000 advanced server system to windows server 2003
enterprise edition. After the connecting to the internet i checked
windowsupdate to get the latest updates for my system. When I go to
windowsupdate site, the following message appears after i click for scanning
Genuine Windows Validation

[ Support ID: 0x80244028 ]
To get updates, you must first validate your Windows software. Validation
assures that you are using an authentic and fully licensed copy of Windows.
Then, I clicked continue to validate my system. After scanning for a while
another message appeared which says.
Validation Incomplete: Unable to Perform Validation[0x80080299]

Why did it not validate?
You have encountered an unknown error. Please contact your local product
support team for further assistance with this issue.

I don't know what to do. Also my automatic updates doest not notify me of
available updates although i have set it to notify me but do not download or
install any updates. I will very appreciate your help
Thanks

Did you have your anti virus program on auto scan when you did this or did
you have it disabled?

When I had windows 2000 advanced server i had both mcafee firewall and mcafee
virus scan installed on my computer.but after upgrade they don't work
anymore. I cannot uninstall them either. But I know that they are not working
anymore.

I'd just like to say that i encountered this on our Corporate machines..
after trying to install the beta for internet explorer 7. I will not install,
as i cannot get past the validation process.. i get the error [0x80080299] on
the genuine windows page, as someone else posted. Funny thing is, i can
validate manually.. by using the validation tool, but not the online web tool
that this install seems to go do everyday.

I tried all the links you provided, and none of them fixed my problem. Even
to disabling anti virus etc..
Can u suggest anything other than the link u posted, that would explain why
I have his error, and what i can do to fix it.

Thanks
