I have had somewhat similar problems in the past with Windows Update that were apparently caused by using OpenDNS for my external resolvers, and thereby receiving sub-optimal responses for Windows Update-related sites. update.microsoft.com is a small maze of distributed sites, and for a while

Well, Ken got me down the correct path, methinks. I had an old GPO still linked to the DC's OU that had a (long since decommissioned) WSUS server set up in it. I've removed those links. However, it appears that the actual GPO object itself is not anywhere in my SYSVOL. As a matter of fact, it

Ya I think so. I killed the lnks to the offending GPO object, but now the DC's still have the settings lingering on them, and I don't see the WSUS stuff in the local policy MMC snap in. So I figured I'd edit the old WSUS policy GPO to turn all the settings back to off,... and that's when I

I agree, except I might use a USB card. :-) But seriously, since this is a Storage Server 2003 box, is it under warranty anymore? Can you do something like this and be supported by the manufacturer? If it's out of warranty, I'd have the screwdriver out already... On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 9:18
