Windows 2008 Server - Windows Update - Error code: 80244019

  • 772

I just installed a Windows 2008 Server on a HP proliant DL180 G5. Since I have installed and setup correctly WSUS 3.0 SP2 for my domain, I am not able to download Windows Update from the Windows update web site.

I always get the error message: 80244019 (Windows Update encountered an unknown error.)

I tried to set 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1 as DNS - No luck I tried checking the Registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] but no luck again because I don't have \WindowsUpdate\AU.

Is anyone know what should I do to be able to access Windows Update website from this server?

My OS is: Windows 2008 Server SP2. Intel Xeon E5420 2.5Ghz 4GO Ram 2x HDD 160Go RAID1

Regards, David.

    How do you try to download the windows updates? I'm pretty sure you have to download the updates from the WSUS 3.0 SP2 MMC Snapin and deploy them from there.

    I dont think it's possible to download and install updates directly from microsoft on a server running WSUS.

  2. You just have to delete the following Registry Key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

  3. WSUS Install Docs

    I followed this, specifically on the requirements and permissions, and I got passed this error.
