Windows couldn't search for new updates Code error 8007000D

[duttavishal]

Hi,

I've been provided with a Dell Latitude D630C laptop uploaded with Windows Vista Enterprise, at work. Since a couple a days, an icon indicating that "windows can't check for updates" has been displaying on the taskbar of the system.

When I checked on it, an error code 8007000D is reflected as the cause of the issue. The last update was in May and am concerned if ignored/delayed any further it could escalate to a bigger problem and hinder the progress of my work (or maybe am being too silly )

Can somebody please help me resolve this? (the error issue not my anxiety coz thats incurable especially when it concerns technology)

Do not perform the script to update WSUS in your production WSUS. It will point WSUS to the Beta update location and basically remove your production environment. Microsoft recommends running the script on a test server specifically for updating beta software. You cannot perform production WSUS and beta WSUS on the same server. At least this is my understanding of the document listed with WSUS SP1 web site. To return the WSUS back to the normal production update location, you have to remove and reinstall WSUS. Not good.

The best option is to:
1. Create an OU in Active Directory that is outside the scope of the WSUS Group Policy Object.
2. Move the computer with Vista into this OU.
3. At the computer, run GPUPDATE.
4. This will remove the WSUS from this computer.
5. Vista will now look automatically to the Microsoft Beta update site and download updates.
