0x80072f8f

[Mike D.]

My personal admin's PC has been updating properly right along but quit on Feb
1. No other PCs on the network seem to be affected, updating normally. I
have done two things to my PC: 1) installed ie7, and 2) joined a new domain
and rejoined the old domain. I recently installed Defender and it gives the
same error when I manually attempt to update it. Either one of these events
could be playing a role but don't know which. The windowsupdate.log
indicates an error with a time-of-day issue and I can find no inconsistencies
there. Client Diag seems
normal. Any suggestions appreciated at this point. TIA.
