    I believe this is due to a Microsoft certificate expiring on 07-Jan-03. On
    the machine I experienced the problem on (Win2k Advanced Server SP3) I was
    able to resolve it by downloading the iuident.cab file manually (on an XP
    machine), exporting the signing certificate from the cab, then reimporting
    it on the server. The steps I took:

    Find iuident.cab, probably in C:\Program Files\WindowsUpdate\V4
    Right-click, properties
    Digital Signatures tab
    Select cert, then Details button
    Details tab
    Copy to File... button
    Wizard: Next
    Select P7B, check "Include all...", then Next
    Give it a file name, then Next, then Finish.

    Copy that file to your broken machine, and double-click to install.

    Note that the expired cert also caused other problems; my server was an OWA
    front-end, the initial symptom was clients getting a message that our SSL
    cert had expired when it hadn't. It also only happened on one of two
    supposedly identical machines.
