Re: Error 0x800703eb in WindowsUpdate.log file

Ensure that the BITS service is running before trying to access it.

Click Start, Click Run, type: services.msc
When the Services windows opens, check that the following services are started, and
set to Automatic:
a. Automatic Updates
b. Background Intelligent Transfer Service
Close the Services window.

Note: The Startup Type of BITS can be "Automatic" or "Manual"; the Event log service
is enabled on all of the hardware profiles, which does not have an option to enable
or disable on certain hardware profile.

| Hi Guy's,
|
| I have been trying to configure the Auto Update client to connect via my
| ISA 2004 Proxy Server. It seems to work well appart from one computer.
|
| The agent seems to connect ok and finish detecting items and know sthere is
| 1 item to download. But then it generates an 0x800703eb error as below.
|
|
| 2006-12-31 10:00:48 968 c88 DnldMgr Error 0x800703eb occurred while
| downloading update; notifying dependent calls.
|
| 2006-12-31 10:00:48 968 4e4 AU AU checked download status and it
| changed: Downloading is paused
|
| 2006-12-31 10:01:02 968 a54 AU No pending client directive
|
|
| Doe sone have any ideas as to work round this issue? I have tried forcing
| it to use the Proxy Server specfied in IE7 aand tried a force detect and to
| no avail.

Possibly. Hope it's working okay now.

| That trick did not work, i have not tried going to the Microsoft Update
| website.
|
| It then kicked in and installed via AU meaning MU failed that time saying
| that AU was installing updates.
|
| I restarted the AU service and it reporting back fine with no errors this
| time. Could it be that it got stuck and needed a kick up the butt ?
