0x80072EFD

[Neil Jones]

I have a Windows 2003 (sp2) cdServer which is refusing to download from
Microsoft Update Site and recieve 0x80072EFD error. I gone through all the KB
articles on this matter which includes bypassing proxy, adding various urls
to the trusted sites, checking hosts file,firewall settings etc but the
problem still remains.

Re: 0x80072EFD

Start a free Windows Update support incident request:
https://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=6527

Support for Windows Update:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/wusupport

For home users, no-charge support is available by calling 1-866-PCSAFETY in
the United States and in Canada or by contacting your local Microsoft
subsidiary. There is no-charge for support calls that are associated with
security updates. When you call, clearly state that your problem is related
to a Security Update and cite the update's KB number (e.g., KB123456).

If your problem relates to a Cumulative Security Update for IE, call the
above number and ask to be transferred to the Consumer IE7 queue (which is
47830).

For more information about how to contact your local Microsoft subsidiary
for security update support issues, visit the International Support Web
site: http://support.microsoft.com/common/international.aspx

For enterprise customers, support for security updates is available through
your usual support contacts.
