Just one more tidbit on this issue, as WU v5 is having massive problems since they rolled out the second activex (look at the WU newsgroups). If you are running SUS SP1 with associated GPO settings, v5 will, in my tests, no longer allow downloads. This is because it tries to use the SUS client instead of the v5 control. This was gathered from the windows update logs. Of course, the SUS SP1 client has no clue what the new v5 download dialog is about and therefore can not start it. V5 also seems to modify the behavior of SUS as in my tests it only downloads the updates to the client from SUS and gives a message of updates ready, but never starts the install without manual intervention. MS has thus far made no response to a fix or workaround, although they seemed to acknowledge the problem in the MS newsgroups. Best Regards, Dan Bartley -----Original Message----- 1. I got a response from a reliable source at Microsoft. They suggested; Here is a suggestion you may try and resolve the error. I would also focus on if the user has a firewall or proxy server and this maybe preventing from accessing the windows update site.... "The error 0x80072f78 means ERROR_HTTP_INVALID_SERVER_RESPONSE The server response could not be parsed. This is usually a proxy or firewall filter issue try having the customer add the following to his trusted sites list. Please check and verify your proxy or firewall configuration that maybe causing the error when accessing the Windows update site. Add the following Trusted Sites: A. Start Internet Explorer. B. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options. C. Click the Security tab. D. Click the Trusted sites icon. E. Click the Sites button. F. Clear the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box. G. Use the Add button next to the Add this Web site to the zone box to add the following sites: http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com http://download.windowsupdate.com H. Click OK. -- NTBugtraq Editor's Note: Want to reply to the person who sent this message?
