ISusInternal::BeginFindUpdates failed, hr=8024002E

WHen I run Windows Update, I get this Message (From the Windows Update Log):

ISusInternal::BeginFindUpdates failed, hr=8024002E

I beleive my "C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution" folder was tampered with, and
I have System Restore turned off for the sake of HD space; and I hadn't
planned on anyone using my computer.

I probably should have mentioned I am looking for some insight on the problem.

Hi,

Error 0x8024002E is

SUS_E_WU_DISABLED
non managed server access is disallowed


Try this:

Start/Run ==> regedit.exe

Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion
\Policies\Explorer

delete the value "NoWindowsUpdate" if it exist.


Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion
\Policies\Windows Update

delete the value "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" if it exist.


Under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion
\Group Policy Objects\LocalUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Windows Update

delete the value "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" if it exist.

Nope, no such luck. I think the problem is an error happening before that is
causing WU to automatically disable itself. Here is a more detailed log:

No such luck. I believe the problem is an error occuring before that is
making WU disable itself. There are no Group Policy settings against WU in
the CURRENT_USER or LOCAL_MACHINE hives. Here is a more detailed bit of my
log:

DisableWindowsUpdateAccesspolicy is not set anywhere; not the registry, nor

Hi

According to PolicySettings.xls available here:

Group Policy Settings Reference for Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

The DisableWindowsUpdateAccess policy can be set under the two
following registry keys:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\WindowsUpdate

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion
\Policies\WindowsUpdate

both places as registry value with name DisableWindowsUpdateAccess.

Note that one is in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE branch and the other is in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

(the HKEY_CURRENT_USER is almost the same as in my other post, but in
my first post it was a space in the \WindowsUpdate key).

I suggest that you in regedit.exe search for DisableWindowsUpdateAccess
(Edit/Find) from the top (by setting the "cursor" at "My Computer" in
regedit).

Hi

Plese see my response to you in your "parallell" post.

If you do a global registry search, search for DisableWindowsUpdateAccess
and not DisableWindowsUpdateAccesspolicy...

I fixed my problem. Attaching a debugger to IE and the activeX Control, a
file it critiacally needs,
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\ebd .chk was missing. After
looking carefully at the debug output, I made a file with the information it
was looking for. Worked fine after that.

Hi

This was a strange case. Thanks for the feedback :-)
