Unable to update Windows server 2012

Question

I'm unable to update windows server 2012. I've run Windows Update Diagonstics too, but it doesn't seem to fix it. The server acts as a member of a domain with its DNS settings pointed to the server with domain controller. Any tip on how I could troubleshoot this furthure? Could it be a policy at Domain Controller? Where can I find these settings?

I believe not, I recently installed the server and joined a domain. — Rovdjuret, Dec 06 '15 at 11:17

Error 0x8024402F means WU_E_PT_ECP_SUCCEEDED_WITH_ERRORS:

// MessageId: WU_E_PT_ECP_SUCCEEDED_WITH_ERRORS

// #define WU_E_PT_ECP_SUCCEEDED_WITH_ERRORS _HRESULT_TYPEDEF_(0x8024402FL)

Stop the Windows Update service, delete the content of the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. Also exclude this folder from your Anti Virus suite.

I just want to back up the claim to exclude the folder from AV scans by referencing https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939908%28WS.10%29.aspx#av – Daniel Dec 10 '15 at 09:22
