Guy Recommends You Try SolarWinds Patch Manager (SPM)
With SPM you can push out patches, which companies such as Mozilla Firefox or Adobe Acrobat provide. The point is that because WSUS does not do this for non-Microsoft software updates, you need a good add-on to take care of this task.

General Diagnosis of Error 80072EFE
What I can offer is general principles, such as, pay close attention to the line number and the precise wording of the error message.
Following the line number, I would turn my attention to permissions, are you logged on as an administrator? What is the script trying to achieve? Does the file or folder referenced need admin rights?
Next, move check out the Source: = service. Does this mean anything to you? Research the name of the service using built-in help. See more about diagnosing VBScript problems.
Windows Update: Access Denied Error Code 80072EFE
This is sometimes caused because you are not an Administrator, or do not have administrator priveleges. A well phrased problem is half of the cure, and in this case just make sure tht your account has the ‘top dog’ administrator priveleges, and is using them.
Once you have logged off an logged on again (as Admin) just re-apply the Windows Update or hotfix. Incidentally, insufficient rights or priveleges is a common thread of other types of Access Denied problems in general, and code 80070005 in particular.

To be frank, I think that most people offering to sell you a registry cleaner that will cure your 80070005 error are scam merchants. If I am wrong, and you want to go down that route at leaset pay with card, that way there is a chance that you can get a refund if I am right and the tool does nothing useful.
