GPO that's not allowing me to run the Automatic Updates as Admin.

[TonyV]

Could someone point me in the right direction as far as
where to find the GPO that is not allowing me to go to
the MS Auto Updates web page logged in as Domain Admin on
my DC. I went to the Windows Updates GP and noticed that
it was enabled, I disabled it and after leaving AD I
tried to go to the page and got the same results. Am I
not allowing the GPO to update or is there another
possible GP that I may be missing?

Thank you,

Tony

After you disabled the policy (not set it to not configured), did you run
GPUPDATE (2003) or "secedit /refreshpolicy machine_policy /enforce" (2000)
on the domain controller? Also, remember that some computer based policies
require a reboot (I don't believe that one does, but I don't have it in
front of me). The policy should refresh itself every 5 minutes, but if it
doesn't force replication with the above commands.
