Security Monthly Quality Rollup fails each month on Server 2008 R2

I have two Server 2008 R2 running on VMware  that I just cant install the Monthly Security Updates on. They appear to install but on reboot the server starts to run the configuring windows bit then gives a message that it failed and proceeds to roll back the updates. When I check the update history it gives a message that it failed to install with the error code 80070020.

Updates are controlled via a WSUS server.

I've tried stopping the updates, BITS and Cryptographic services, renamed the SoftwareDistribution folder and started the services again. I've run SFC /scannow and also DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

I've also tried manually downloading an update and installing it with the same result
