hi John,
Back to basics...
- is this issue happening also on all other servers as well?
error 80072EFE means connectivity issue:
===========================
# for hex 0x2efe / decimal 12030
ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED inetmsg.h
ERROR_WINHTTP_CONNECTION_ERROR winhttp.h
ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED wininet.h
# 3 matches found for "80072efe"
===========================
please do following :
1) on affected server restart windows update service (and write down exact time in HH:MM)
2) check for updates again from control panel
3) when you get same error send us whole file C:\windows\windowsupdate.log and tell us exact time when you did the activity
Thanks
