Hello stosti,

1. You said you checked only the Domain controller policy, whats about the
domain policy and maybe another configured policy?

2. Did you check for any errors in the other event logs?

Best regards

I have a domain with a single domain controller. There are ~12 XP
machines as domain members. There is two problems.

1) Automatic Updates under System properties is completely grayed
out. I
can't change any of the settings. I checked the domain controller
group
policies. They are not disabled there. I also checked the registry
keys.
They are set in such a way that according to the Mocrosoft tech
article
everything should be normal. Where else could automatic updates be
disabled?
The service is set to automatic and started. If you kick updates off
manually it works fine.
2) The system time is wrong on all workstations randomly during the
day. The domain controller has the correct time. All work stations
are looking to the domain controller for thir updates. The domain
controller is set to look at the millitary clocks for updates. I set
it as recommended by MS. What could be making the time be off by as
much as 90 minutes randomly? You can watch the clock and bang it will
switch back! How can I monitor what is making the time be incorrect
on my work stations? Below is the error in the system log:

Event Type: Information

Thanks,
Scott
