Windows Update Error 80072EE2

When running Windows Update, I kept getting an error, "Windows update Error: 80072EE2", which meant absolutely nothing to me. But alas, I got it fixed. Though I'm not sure why I received this error, outside of connecting to various networks, perhaps my DNS cache was corrupt. In any case follow these steps to fix this problem if you have encountered this error:

  1. Click on the Start button (or as they call it now, the pearl).
  2. Right click on the command prompt, and select, "Run as Administrator".
  3. Enter your Administrator Credentials, and press enter
  4. At the prompt enter the command: IPCONFIG/FLUSHDNS. Press enter.
  5. Restart your computer, and complete the update for your Vista Machine.
