I initially had the same problem and discovered it was a group policy on the
DOMAIN CONTROLLER that was the problem.

It seems Exchange Server changed permissions on the "Manage Auditing and
Security Log" policy located under Computer configuration - Windows settings
- Security settings - Local policies - User rights assignments

It added Exchange Enterprise Servers to the policy, but there is no
Administrator permissions set. Naturally, all the workstations on the domain
were picking up this policy and could not be overidden at the workstation.

I added "Administrators" to the permissions and forced a policy refresh on
the workstations (you will need to reboot after this).

Once i logged on to the workstation with admin rights i could complete all
my updates and it fixed a problem i was having with the system restore not
functioning due to permission errors.

I am not sure why or when the permissions were changed, but it seems to be a
common problem.
