Server 2008 R2 X64.
Things were running smoothly, this particular server also manages the updates, all other computers are getting their updates currently. I had an issue with Windows updates throwing an error when trying to install, error 80072EFE shows up. So, I deleted this server from WSUS, did wuauclt.exe /detect now and days later the server is still not showing up in WSUS. Here is the log file after the command listed earlier:

I suppose it's two issues, but I think they are part of the same problem. As I stated before, this server was getting updates from WSUS up until the 7-20-12. Nothing else is on this box except some anti virus (VIPRE Business console) Network Inventory Advisor, and a system to download linux updates for our filepro servers. Any ideas? I'm stumped!
