The situation you come across with either Microsoft Forefront or Windows updates is that you cannot download updates, and are presented with the incredibly useful error message 0×80070422. You’ve got to love the amount of information they include in these messages. I mean, come on, is it really that hard to say "ET can’t phone home? So, try this, which is taken from KB958043. The KB talks about creating a batch file, but you can just open an administrative command prompt and paste the following to execute these commands.
sc config wuauserv start= auto
sc config bits start= auto
sc config DcomLaunch start= auto
net stop wuauserv
net start wuauserv
net stop bits
net start bits
net start DcomLaunch
Run the above, and try updating again. You should be good to go!
