System Center Endpoint Definitions Update Failed 0x80248014

Just installed a fresh version of Win Server 2012 and installed SCEP 2012.  After a few days, I started receiving messages stating:

Wondering what the deal is, I went into the server and manually tried to update the definitions only to be greeted with:

'

Well screw you, I know I have internet access, so what is the deal?
We don't have time to find out why this doesn't work, we're sick of seeing the alerts.

Settings -> Control Panel -> System Security -> Windows Update
But why?  Just do it, you'll cringe thinking about it.

Windows Update 1


Click to find out more, then check the box, "Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows"

Then check for updates, run the definitions update, reboot if it asks you.

After you are done, go into SCEP and attempt to manually update the definitions.  *BAM* works.

So stupid, I know.
