In Default Domain Policy GPO User Configuration/Windows Settings/Internet Explorer Maintenance/Connection, the User Agent String is unset. The same goes for all other IE-related GPO’s I have; in fact it’s only one other, and that one is set to IE Preference Mode, where the User Agent String is not settable. Any other ideas? And thanks so far. 8-) -- /Sorin From: Sorin Srbu [mailto:sorin.srbu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, January 11, 2010 9:48 AM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: [windows2000] Re: How to fix a WUP-refusal connections I might.

Afterwards, I can't connect to Windows Update manually to patch Windows and Office. Automatic updates seems to be working though. I have IE8 installed on all machines, but still get the dump you can see on the below URL. http://www.anst.uu.se/sosrb676/images/capture_2010-0108_14.58.13_cropped.jpg It smells of a GPO-setting problem but the usual suspects I checked look ok. Can you advise please?
