WindowsUpdate_80072F8F
I just installed windows server 2008 r2 standard on a server and when I went to update it I got this error message WindowsUpdate_80072F8F. I tried the microsoft fix and when I tried to open it the program said it could not connect to the server. Any ideas on fixing this? I haven't done anything to the server except try to update it. No roles or programs installed on it yet.

This issue may occur if the date and time on the computer varies too much from the valid date and time of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) certificates that are used by the Windows Update Web site. Verify that the server has the correct time and then try running the updates again. If you found this post helpful, please give it a "Helpful" vote.
