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.
 
Try going to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv

Make sure that the START value is set to 2.
