MBSA 2.0 The operating systems returned error code 1222

[alex]

Hi,

I have Microsoft Windows 2000 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4

2 problems:

1) MBSA 2.0 originally "recognizes" my standalone computer
(connected to Internet over Comcast Cable) but later comes to
an error:

"workgroup\<my computer name> (my IP address)
An unexpected error has occured .
The operating systems returned error code 1222."

I checked 1222 - it means - No Network Connection
(which is false )

Any idea how to fix it ?

2)Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)
fails to install:

"Updates were unabled to be successfully installed"

Hi Alex,

Regarding the failure to install Genuine Advantage and other updates, you
most likely have a problem with Default AccessPermissions for DCOM.

How to test and possobly correct:

1. Check the following registry key to see if you have the
DefaultAccessPermissions value set:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\OLE

2. If you have the value 'DefaultAccessPermissions' then we need to check
to see what the value translates to the UI for DCOM:

3. On Win2000 launch DCOMCNFG

4. Click on the Default Security Tab

5. Under Default Access Permissions click on Edit

If the list is not blank, then verify that Administrator is in the list.
Add it if necessary.

If the list is blank (the default is blank), then cancel DCOMCFG and remove
the DefaultAccessPermissions value from the registry key above.

Notes: By default on Windows 2000, the DefaultAccessPermissions value does
not exist in the Ole registry key refeenced above. Furthermore, by default
on Windows 2000, the list for DefaultAccessPermissions is blank in the
Dcomcnfg GUI. The owner should list Administrator by default.

What we see when this is broken: We see a blank list in the dcomcnfg GUI
but also see that the registry key value for DefaultAccessPermissions
exists.

Reason why this is a problem: If you have a blank list in dcomcfg GUI for
DefaultAccessPermissions - which by default is correct, but you have a
registry key value for this as well, that corresponds to a setting of
<null> which gives permissions to no account. Under such a setting DCOM is
broken and we see Windows Update failures.

The default on Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 is for there to be no
value present in the OLE registry key for DefaultAccessPermissions and for
the DefaultccessPermissions list to bel blak in the DComcnfg GUI.

After making the needed mofifications, reboot and test Windows Update again
.. all should be working correctly.

Let me know how this goes.

Alex, this is usually caused by either the Workstation or Server services
not running on the machine. Can you please verify that they are running?
