1) start with Hyper-V VM (Server 2008 RTM, all patched and up-to-date),
2) install Server 2003 x64,
3) install SP2,
4) install integration services,
5) access Windows Update, select Custom ... and wait.
End result is error # 0x80072EE2.
And that, literally, is it: I don't make *any* changes to the defaults
that result from the above steps.
Yes, I have worked my way through all the help links and steps and,
while they all sound like reasonable possibilities, none of them apply
(i.e., none of the issues they describe are present).
I can directly access all the various URLs that I see references to.
I have no problems with Windows Update from the underlying
Server 2008 installation. I have no problems from a separate
x64 Server 2003 beside it. I have no problems from a separate
x86 Server 2003 beside that.
I've appended the last chunk of entries that Automatic Updates
wrote to the WindowsUpdate log file in case it's of any use.
