Ok, so this is my issue. To cut a long story short we have quite a strict domain.

All access is through proxy, WSUS does the updates and any external device that connects uses Cisco VPN, and then essentially, the proxy.

After relaxing enough policies to allow microsoft accounts to be linked I can now access the store and browse and add / join an outlook account, but when I try to install a store app I get an error:

your purchase couldn't be completed 0x80072f8f

Now, this is really a Windows Update error. It appears that the store uses WU to get installs / updates to apps (makes sense I suppose).

There must be something proxy related that's stopping this and the WindowsUpdate.log suggests it's seeing the URl but getting denied

If anyone's interested, WU log of me finding the Lync App and then trying to install it.

Code:

Looks like it's possibly an issue due to WSUS. If you go into Windows update and ask it to check for Windows Updates itself, then go through the store what happens?

Just a suggestion as don't run any clients this strictly myself.
 
I'm thinking the proxy is breaking access to the store and Windows Update, but since Windows updates are on the LAN you wouldn't ordinarily notice. You could try as linktoinsanity suggests and force Windows to 'check online for updates' in the control panel (GP settings permitting). If this throws an error it would suggest the proxy is likely causing the problem.
 
Literally pulled my hair out with this today and got no further. Even went a few steps back at one point!! Not ideal, but will continue to find a solution
