Automatic update fails

[Robert J]

When I do a windows update logged on to an internal
machine there is no problem. However, the automatic
update always fails. Same problem happens with
Symantec "live update" The internal domain connects to
the internet thru proxy server running on a separate
domain. Both domains run AD, the DNS server is on the
internal domain with the forwarder pointing to our ISP DNS
server.

I don't think it has anything to do with your network configuration.
Automatic update should work only when logged on as an administrator. (If
have seen the auto update icon in the system tray on one machine when a user
was logged in as a power user, but the installation failed.)
