  • I Just finished building the exact same computer, "HP Pro Liant DL380 G7, Installed Windows Server 2008 Enterpise Edition R2 x64bit Installed" and had the same problem.

    The solution was to check the Date and Time on the computer, it was months off. After correcting the Date and Time the updates worked normally.

    Hope this helps.
