Failed to download this file. Error code 0x800C0008

Friday, January 6th, 2017

One of our services gave an odd error. External user would attempt to access it and they would get an error about a configuration file not downloading.

The part of the error message that interested me was:

Failed to download this file. Error code 0x800C0008

What was odd was the service worked inside the firewall.

I thought it was browser related and checked the Net.

I tried the suggested registry change:

  1. Start Registry Editor.
  2. For a per-user setting, locate the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

    For a per-computer setting, locate the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
  3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following value:
    BypassSSLNoCacheCheck“=Dword:00000001
  4. Exit Registry Editor.

This did not need a reboot and the change worked.

To add more “oddness” the service started working before the affected users made the change.

Hmmmmmm?  Network people or Security people?

Mouse selecting many things

Wednesday, January 4th, 2017

Minor odd issue.  For some reason my mouse was selecting all virtual machines in XenCenter.

Problem was simply a stuck shift key.  Banged it a couple times and the problem went away.
