The way that the DOE runs things is that there are restricted,
semi-restricted and full access accounts. The students are restricted, the
teachers are semi-restricted and the DOE techs have full access. I have full
access and so I don't suspect group policy. The computers have standard
images that only change slightly from model to model.

I am trying to update classrooms as a final step before shutting down the
computers for the summer. I am getting the error code 0x80070005 on about
half of the computers that I have tried to update. All are WinXP pro sp2, I
am logged in as administrator and as far as I can tell there are no virus or
malware infections. I have gone over many different boards and blogs and help
sites but still can not get the computer to update. Is there one sure fire
way to resolve this without having to jump through multiple hoops. If the
school were networked correctly I could jump through all day, but I have more
than 200 to do individually. Thanks.


0x80070005 means Access Denied. Usually it's caused by security
software, Group Policy setting[s], incorrect Permissions, or malware.
IF Group Policy were the culprit, then all of the systems would be
affected, unless it was only applied to 1/2 of them.

A third option:

I have a copy of Symantec Endpoint MR4 installed - and a WIN2K3 std server
running the MR4 console. The registry entry that needs to be
changed/edited/deleted by the WIN Update process on this server (for which I
am receiving the Error Code: 0x80070005) is being protected by the security
software - the update can't run.

In retrospect 'this is all good'.

So it appears to be normal behavior (re; the Error Code: 0x80070005) and
your little-hidden bias toward the hard-working MS Guy is misplaced.
