Windows can't connect update... Error 80072efd on Small Business Server 2008


  • Click Start > Run > type "regedit"
  • Navigate to HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdates
  • Look at the keys in that folder, if they look something like this:
          "WUServer"="http://SERVER:8530"
          "WUStatusServer"="http://SERVER:8530"
  • Right click on "WindowsUpdate" key > click Export this to a .reg file to be safe
  • Delete the "WindowsUpdate" key from the registry at  HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdates
  • Close Registry Editor
  • Click Start > Run > type "services.msc" 
  • In the right panel, locate Windows Update services. Right click > Restart 
 After that, you can download and install new updates.
