Is anyone else getting an activation error for Vista x64 5308? Internet connection is working fine but I keep getting error code 0x80072F8F. Does anyone have a solution?

I have received the same error(0x80072f8f) while I was trying to update Windows defender. Then I saw this article:

http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/showarticle.aspx?articleid=12&ln=en&IsMu=True

And now there is no problem.

i recieved the same error initially.

If your using a proxy user the windows key manager (start -> run -> "rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr") to add your proxy credentials manually. This worked great for me.

but it's not good. perhaps because i'm under a firewall ? (I've also try hxibrahim's solution )
