Windows and Microsoft Update errors

We keep getting errors when using Microsoft Update on our machines.
Different OS, it doesn't matter which, it occurs on all of them:
WinSrvr2003, WinXP, WinVista, Win2k8...

Seems there is something wrong with the Microsoft Update Servers
communication?

Thomas

.... listen, the communication fails with Windows Update Server, so there are
nothing to install ;-)

If you're referring to WSUS, you're in the wrong newsgroup (and you referred
to Microsoft Update in your first post, which you've conveniently not quoted
here).

.... no, I'm not talking about WSUS but Windows Update / Microsoft Update.

Seems to be solved, working okay now again for all OS

We're not mind readers here. While I'm happy to hear that your problems
automagically cleared up, please post (1) what updates are involved (if you
know) and (2) what errors you're getting the next time you have occasion to
post to this newsgroup.

PS: Please stop snipping posts to which you're replying.

Read closely before posting next time. Windows and Microsoft Update Server
wasn't available, so all current updates wasn't accessible.
