    Hi Erik Covolo,

    Thanks for your response.

    This error occurred when the Windows Server 2012 client tried to get updates from the windows update. I found the below information for your reference:

    0x80072F8F -2147012721 ERROR_INTERNET_SECURE_FAILURE ErrorClockWrong One or more errors were found in the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate sent by the server.

    I'm not sure why this issue occurred. But I suspect the issue is related with the TLS 1.2. Perhaps we could refer to the below link to enable the TLS 1.2 first to see whether this issue will be resolved or not:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/security/enable-tls-1-2-client

    Hope the above will be helpful.

    Regards,
    Rita
