Can change Automatic Updates settings

[Mike]

I have Automatic Updates installed on a Win2000 Advanced
Server. However, I can't change any of the update
settings. They are all grayed out. I normally connect
via a network login and my domain/userID has administrator
priviledge on the workstation. I have also tried logging
is as the local administrator (without connecting to the
network). I want to setup the Automatic Updates so that
it only notifies me that there are updates available. Any
suggestions on how to do this.

Thanks.

you need to setup the windows update group policy object.
To access it, Start/run/gpedit.msc/Local computer
policy/administrative templates/Windows Components/Windows
Update

here you can use the configure automatic updates policy to
set it up the way you want it. If you don't find the
policy there, right click on Administrative Templates\Add-
Remove Templates\add\highlight wuau.adm and open\click on
close. now go back and look for the configure automatic
updates policy under windows components.

this has always worked for me.
