Re: HELP - cannot install updates on user's computers

Yes - in Ie.

I'm not using ISA, and I don't have a separate SUS/WSUS box yet...

Thanks,

Thanks for the resonse! I am trying to perform a Windows XP update
via the MS website. First, the "Windows Update" choice does not
appear in the Tools menu.

In IE, right?

2nd, if I try to go to Windows Update via
the URL, it says:
[Error number: 0x8DDD0003]
Network policy settings prevent you from using this website to
get updates for your computer.

If you believe you have received this message in error, please
contact your system administrator.
Read more about steps you can take to resolve this problem (error
number 0x8DDD0003) yourself.


The same thing happens if I try to go to Office Update and download
the latest update.

What I desire to do is temporarily relax the installation/update ban
on PC's here. I have several I would like to personally update,
watching how the update goes, and personally checking to confirm it
went ok.
Thanks again!

Are you using ISA?
Do you have a SUS/WSUS box somewhere on your network?
