Windows update error: Code 80072F8F (possibly datetime-not-correct, but it is)
- by Andrew
I have a Windows 2008 Server 64bit installation running as a virtual instance with a hosting provider.
Windows Update has worked fine until IE8 (along with some other updates) managed to get installed (don't get me started). Now all of a sudden Windows Update fails to run and complains with error 80072F8F.
UPDATE: I've since removed IE8 and am still having issues (tissues are on order)
This apparently means that the time/timezone of the server is incorrect - which is not the case. I've synced the time with a time server and rebooted a number of times.
I've followed the instructions here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929458) to no avail.
Thanks!
Andrew
