I have opened this case with Microsoft Support, this solution worked
for me.
This computer was a relatives and was infected with the following
virus, in which I removed and scrubbed prior to reporting this issue.
I also think the virus removed the Microsoft Client as well,
File Name: __c003AE46.dat Virus Name: Trojan.Vundo
File Name: ddeml32.dll Virus Name

ownloader
File Name: dbmsadsn32.dll Virus Name

ownloader
Action Taken: Left alone (all 3)
Location: C:\WINNT\system32 (all 3)
Status: Infected (all 3)
Just to note the "TCP/IP protocol" and the "File and Printer Sharing
for Microsoft Networks were not affected and the computer was
otherwise functional after the scrub.
I think it might be a good idea to post this solution on the microsft
site associated with with the error code 0x800706D3. As there are hits
for this on
the net with no solution.
Please close Case ID ----- with the highest customer satisfaction
rating.
Best of luck with your carreer and thank you again for the excellent
work, Sincerely, Phil Diakun

From the problem description, I understand that the computer failed to
do updates with the error code 0x800706D3. Please feel free to let me
know if I misunderstood.
I understand the inconvenience you have experienced. Please be assured
that I will do my best to resolve the issue.
This error may occur if Client for Microsoft Networks component has
not been installed or applied on the system. At this time, let's make
sure Client for Microsoft Networks component has been installed on the
system. Here are the detailed steps:
1. Click "Start"->"Settings"->Click "Network and Dial-up Connections".
A new window titled "Network and Dial-up Connections" opens. In this
window, open the "Local Area Connection" item.
2. Click the "Properties" button one more time to reach the full
"General" tab.
If Client for Microsoft Networks is unchecked, please put a check on
it and click OK. After that, restart the computer to check this issue.
If Client for Microsoft Networks is not installed (listed), please
continue with the following steps.
3. Click the "Install..." button to begin the process of installing
this component.
4. Select "Client" as the type of component from the list in the new
window that appears. Click the "Add..." button to continue.
5. Click "Have Disk".
6. Type "C:\WINNT\inf", and then click "OK".
7. Choose "Client for Microsoft Networks" from the list of "Network
Clients" on the right side of the window. Click the "OK" button to
continue.
8. Complete the installation by clicking the "OK" button to close the
window, then proceed to reboot the computer. After the computer has
restarted, Client for Microsoft Networks will be installed.
NOTE: You will probably also need to install the "TCP/IP protocol" and
the "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" service to fully
network a Windows computer on a typical LAN.
