I have a Windows XP machine (SP3) in a domain enviornment. The computer is properly setup in the domain enviornment (assuming this, because I can log in as domain administrator and all users get the startup script ran which maps some drives for them).
I am attempting to edit the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
In particular - the key: WUServer
I am trying to input the WSUS server name there (which is http://main) (main is the name of their domain controller running WSUS). When I input the value and exit from the registry - then go back into the registry, the key is blank again. I input the wsus server again, exit, go back in - it's blank. It just will not save.
I checked the permissions on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate and "authenticated users" was full control. I also gave myself (domain\administrator) full control as well. Then, I gave "everyone" full control. The edit just will not stay/save.
What could be going on here? This is the only computer in the company behaving like this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
