Re: Windows Update error resolution problem

Hi Wes,

Well glad I'm not the only one!

I have successfully completed the other two methods. The user only belongs
to the administrator group - hopefully not restircted. It is the created
admin account I am using anyway.

Also after carefully mistyping the sdset command line several times I got it
to report back with the success message but still no updates can be run.

Look forward to any other suggestions.

Regards
Mr dB
