Hi all,

I have here a problem on my Home Server running WHS 2011. I have only had it for a couple weeks but still not been able to use windows updates.

When i try go to the 'windows update' window i click the 'check for updates' button and get it does the loading bar for a few seconds and then says, "an error occured while checking for new updates for your computer". Error code is 8007370A. Not found a solution through google and for some annoying reason, when i try to use microsoft support then try and charge me, despite having paid from ocuk for a license for whs2011.

Help would be much appreciated :)
 
found this on microsoft answers. but other than that not a clue. if all else fails re-installhttp://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/windows-update-error-code-8007370a/a89f0293-a0e4-43a2-b437-1729c945b849
 
thanks dude, but for some reason it wont even let me run the sfc scan. Even on the elevated command prompt. Look like im going to be heading for a fresh install :( what a pain the back end.

Got some options since im going for a reinstall. Probably going to not bother with the 60gb SSD, i think the move to that drive is what screwed my installaion as i couldnt move all partitions due to the size :-/ (i dislike this about whs). I might for a windows 8 installation and try setting it up as a server. Seen guides and info on this on we got server.

Any tips?
