No, that is not right -- part of the BENEFIT of the Automatic Updates
(versus Windows Update) is that an admin is NOT required since it
runs under the computer account.
First step would be to run GPResult and/or RSoP (in Win2003) and
make sure that the GPO is really applied.

Also, for Win2000 machines you must install the AU Client but
with current service packs that was done long ago.
Along with GPO applied, make sure the computers are properly
authenticated AND that DNS is fully functional since they must
find the servers.
How about firewall checks?
How about setting it to reboot (in AU settings that is)? Since
the updates may be installed but not yet applied.
