This has become a frustrating problem
I usually setup windows server 2003 Enterprise and Standard Editions as virtual machines in Virtual PC 2007 to evaluate and test softwares.
In older installations there were no errors and WU work perfect but in all recent installation I have the following log.
I searched for error 8004b039 but there is almost nothing related in the whole web!
OS is fresh installed, connected to internet and can access and open windows update website and web service.
Old installations (i.e. installed before 3 months ago) from the same source and on the same machine and network connect, get and install updates normally.
I tried any possible solutions regarding Automatic Update and related services but all in vein.
I appreciate any useful hint or comment to solve this problem.
Regards
