I've edited my local policy like you suggested. The settingsa re all now in
and I've restarted the service. The control panel applet still thinks the
service is unavailable but nevertheless my machine has started doing
something quite demanding. We'll see what it was when it finishes I suppose
.

Have you tried using gpedit.msc from the Start-Run menu? Once this opens,
right-click on the Administrative Tools menu and then Add Template. If you
browse you will see a template called wuau.au or something to that effect.
Add that templete and then once you come out of that window, open
Administrative Tools, click Windows Components, and under it you will see
Windows components. You can add all of your settings here.

I'm in the process of implementing MS SUS to blow the cobwebs out of my W2K
machines. The server is setup, has finished synchronising and is waiting for
connections. However on every machine I've tried, the Windows Update Service
is unavailable, according to the control panel applet. I have ensured that
the Automatic Updates service is running and have manually entered the
server details in the registry before service and server restarts but the
control panel applet still insists that the service is unavilable. I can't
even find the applet on my new XP SP1 laptop.
Am I going mad or have I missed something along the way? Answers on a post
card please ;-)
