Re: W2K Windows Update no longers works - 0x800A0046

Per your request:
Under the Member of tab;
Administrators
Backup Operators
Guests
Power Users
Replicators
Users

Also, I find it much easier and faster to just right click on My Computer,
click on Manage Computers and then choose my catagory.

Thank you, Kay
