microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin

Here with our resolution

After reading the logs there were 0x80248008 errors being reported.
They all pointed at IIS issues. Our problem was resolved by starting the
default Pool service in the Application Pools directory.
All our xp and w2003 clients are picking up their updates.
