Hey all,

I have a strange situation.

I have a client that can successfully use to scan and install
updates:

https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

But the same client fails the scan when trying:

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

with this error:

Windows Update has encountered an error. This may be due to a
discrepancy in your computer's time setting.

To check your date and time setting:

On the taskbar, double-click the time.
Verify that the date and time is correct.


You can also get online support if you are having problems with Windows
Update.


Send error number to Microsoft (0x800C0008)
Note This sends error information but does not create a support
incident


Let me know if I can provide any more specific information.

Thanks.

Thanks.
