I've just reintalled the OS on a machine and after joining it to the domain
of my office, the options for Automatic Updates are greyed out. They are set
to download and install all updates. Any idea how I can get back control of
the updates?
 
Make sure you are logged on as an account that is a local administrator. If
that does not help it sounds like you have Group Policy settings that may be
enforcing the Windows Updates settings. You can use rsop.msc to see what
Group Policy settings are applying to that computer and the winning GPO.
Look for settings under computer configuration/administrative
templates/Windows components/Windows updates. You would have to change
Group Policy settings or move the computer to a container that does not have
that GPO apply to it. --- Steve
