Hi,

The error code 0x80244017 is:

SUS_E_PT_HTTP_STATUS_DENIED
Http status 401 - access denied indicates that the client
is hitting a proxy challenge

So it looks like you could have a proxy configuration problem.

You might need to use proxycfg.exe to either set or remove
a proxy server configuration:

Open a command prompt (Start/Run and then "cmd.exe" without the
quotes").

Run this command to see what proxy configuration WU uses:

proxycfg

If you don't have a proxy, you will need status

Direct access (no proxy server).


If it reports anything else, to set direct access:

proxycfg -d

If you actually are using a proxy, you may need to use something
else than -d for the proxycfg command. Open a command prompt and
run "proxycfg -?" (w/o the quotes) for help.


To get more help on proxycfg:

proxycfg -?


Also, this one is relevant for 0x80190194 (disregard the Windows XP
reference, it applies to Win2k3 Server as well)

You cannot download updates when you access the Windows Update Web
site from a Windows XP-based computer that is behind a firewall or
a proxy server
