Jim,

Thanks for the response.

I checked the Local Security Settings on several machines.

Restore Files and Directories and Manage Auditing and Security Log are
already assigned to the Administrators group. Take Ownership of Files or
Other Objects wasn't. For us, that's a domain level policy, so I went and
added one of our user groups to the domain policy. It was set for just
Domain Admins. After setting, I went back to one of the workstations and ran
gpupdate to ensure that the workstation got the new policy. I double-checked
in Local Security Settings again and, sure enough, that group showed as
having that right. Logged in as a user from that group, I tried again to run
windows update. Again, the update failed. I also tried logging completely
out and back in and then running windows update and still no luck.

Do you or does anyone else have another suggestion?

Thanks,

Tim
