After changing the settings in group policy (I set them back to the default
of 'Not Configured'), restart the Automatic Updates Service (Start > Run >
services.msc <Enter> to bring up the services list). After restarting the
Automatic Updates service, the selected choice should no longer be grayed out
in Control Panel > Automatic Updates.

Hi, Meinolf,.
Thank you very much for your response.
As you suggested, i checked computer configuration/administrative templates
and user configuration/administrative templates and wuau.adm is added in both
templates. I further looked into computer configuration/administrative
templates/Windows Components/windows update and User
Configuration/administrative templates/Windows Components/Windows Update, all
are showing not configured. I also checked with gpresult /v, and i found
nothing. It shows N/A under adminstrative templates at both places. only
default domain controller policy is applied to the Domain Controller OU.
Is there anything I can do further? I assume i should not remove the
wuau.adm from the templates, right? The default domain policy is "blocked
inheritance" at the domain controller OU.
Thank you for your time and suggestion.

Hello John,
Check in the computer configuration/administrative templates and also user
configuration/administrative templates if the wuau.adm is added, rightclick
administrative templates, choose add/remove and look for it. And i would
still chekc with gpresult on a dc to check for an update policy, run it with
the verbose switch gpresult /v and check again.

Yes, we are using WSUS. But none of the domain controllers are
included in the computer groups. And It was working pretty well untill
recently I saw DC automatically downloading and installing windows
updates.
It is really weird.
Do you think WSUS could be the reason?
Thank you for your response.

Hi, Everyone,
There is a weird thing happened to all the domain controller
computers (all Windows server 2003 std) in our company. I have not
noticed when exactly this started. It seems that the Automatic
Updates options at our domain controllers are grey out. I used to
check "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them"
because i don't feel comfortable if i just let the updates
automatically install to the domain controllers. But recently i
noticed the all domain controllers just do the automatic updates
and I am not able to change this settings because all the options at
Automatic Updates (from Control Panel) are grey out.
I checked the default domain group policy, all shows not cofigured
for the windows updates. No other group policy linked to the domain
controller OU. It seems this started to happen when I load some
Windows critical updates to the servers couple of months ago.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this or at leasts point me to
the correct direction to check?
Thank you very much for any help from you guys.
John
