Server Error 403-Forbidden: Access Denied
in [Windows Update]

From: gmoss on 11 Dec 2009 04:51 Yeah, man, I was JUST getting the same message. I've never in my life received that before. I don't have any antivirus running and I have not made any insstallations of any kind in the past few days. I don't have automatic updates enabled because I always check manually.

From: Neil on 11 Dec 2009 06:06 I had the same issue and had the same error in the log. The dll is available from here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949104 This sorted it for me.
From: dipswitch on 11 Dec 2009 06:17 I found the answers myself and it fixed this problem here too!

Any respons from MS yet when they will fix their Update Site not to kill our clients? I've blocked the MS Update Site until further notice in my firewall nit to break any more clients. -- /Dennis "aragorn" wrote: > OK > I fixed it! > I checked the windows update log file [%windir%\Windowsupdate.log] and found > that I had a wrong wuweb.dll file... > I downloaded the latest windows update agent file and now I am back running.. > |
