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?

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