From the description, I understand that you keep getting event ID 13042 every 6 hours on SBS 2008. After restarting the default website, the error ID still occurs.



Please correct me if I have any misunderstanding.



Analysis:

===========

It seems you have tried the http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2000598 suggestions. You should be assured that Anonymous authentication has enabled and "Require SSL" should be unchecked.

This event ID indicating that Self-update is not working. Please check if the client can update successfully.



Meanwhile, you may try the following steps and check the Windows SharePoint Services on the default Web site in IIS, configure it to coexist with Self-update



1.Grant Anonymous access (Anonymous Auth) to the Default Web site, ClientWebService and Selfupdate v-roots in IIS.

2.Exclude specific requests from being intercepted by the Windows SharePoint Services ISAPI DLL by doing the following:



a. Open the Windows SharePoint Services Central Administration Site (click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Sharepoint Central Administration).

b. Click Virtual Server Configuration, and then click Configure Virtual Server Settings.

c. Click Default Web Site.

d. Click Virtual Server Management, and then click Define managed paths.

e. In the Add a new path box, set the type to Excluded Path. Under Path, type the following:
