Why am I seeing error “An error occurred while scanning for security updates. (0x8024402c)”?
This error may appear for several reasons: • If the client computer has a registration for an Update Services server, and the server cannot be contacted by the agent, this error will be returned. • If the server is on the network, but the client cannot contact the server, this error may also happen and indicates a possible problem in the proxy server configuration or connectivity issues that prevent the network name resolution process from allowing the client to locate the server on the network. Check the proxy settings of the computer running MBSA, and ensure the assigned WSUS server is accessible on the network.
