My problem is also the same.
I just opened up a brand new Dell computer out of the box. Joined it to the
domain and then logged in as local admin and tried to do the windowsupdate.
And I get the same problem: Error Code: 8007F004 when installing the BITS
2.0 and HTTP5.1

I have checked the local policy as you suggested and here is what I found:
On # 5. Take ownership of files or other objects, local admin is not in
there. Instead I have domain\domain admins and the box is greyed out. Can't
do anything. I logged in as domain admin thinking that I can add local admin
group. But still no dice.

Seems, many folks have this issue. I will end up re-doing the OS, even
though this is a brand new PC out of the box.

Thanx
