Error - event source crypt32

[MartinG]

We have had a little cluster of messages as follows which don't seem to
relate to any project or any logged on individual. The problem seems to
originate from within the server and the link to Microsoft contains no
information. Does anyone know what is going on?

Martin:

The server is looking for updates at Microsoft however something is
preventing it from connecting. Perhaps auto updates is turned on for the
server, but other network security policies prohibit it?

Thanks Gary - Yes auto update is on but it cannot "see" through our firewall
so I will have to turn it off and we will update manually.
