This sounds like my problem, but the link doesn't work.

Probably because threads aren't kept forever. A good example of why it's a
bad idea to add your Me too! to such "moldy oldies". ; }

But see below...

Engel gave you a good clue to help you re-find whatever it is that he was
suggesting you look at. So let's see if Google Groups can use that clue
to help you find its copy. (Google Groups tends to have a longer retention
policy than MS Communities.)...

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/browse_thread/thread/fbe5764a82138d45/f4fbcada09986ceb?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=Kyliebrook+BITS+group:microsoft.*.windowsupdate

(Google Groups search for
Kyliebrook BITS group:microsoft.*.windowsupdate
- only hit (until now) <w>
)

Hmm... that looks familiar...

Well, the only other option, a long shot, is using the &mid= parameter to
generate a Message-ID and asking Google to search for that...

&mid=f2d98d1c-ba45-4402-b066-f03b35ca3c5f

so _probably_

Message-ID=F2D98D1C-BA45-4402-B066-F03B35CA3C5F(a)microsoft.com

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/browse_thread/thread/aae042a0a7abe85e/ea1e5dcd2318b191?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=

(Google Groups Advanced search for
above Message-ID= value
)


QED.

I wonder why my previous search didn't work? The only thing I might have
changed is giving author:kyliebrook instead of just using the poster's
nickname, since it wasn't included anywhere in the thread...

Yes. This finds the same thing...

http://groups.google.com/groups/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=author%3AKyliebrook+BITS+group%3Amicrosoft.*.windowsupdate&sitesearch=

Thanks for the reminder about some of Google Group's quirks. ; )


FYI
