When I attempt to connect Windows XP Embedded to
update.microsoft.com I get the error message "Network Policy Settings
prevent you from using this website to get updates". What am I
missing?

Thanks
 
Windows XP Embedded systems cannot get updates from Windows Update. The idea
is that one wouldn't want a small XPe system running on a flash drive to get
updates that the image doesn't need, thus blowing up the image so it runs
out of room on the flash drive. Windows Updates can be downloads to an XPe
system through WSUS. WSUS allows the admin to control what get s downloaded
to WSUS clients.
