Other Domain Admins cannot view available updates


Recommended Posts

Posted

We have a windows 2003 Domain and are using WSUS. Recently, the defult Domain

Admin account password was changed to force other Domain Admins to use their

own credentials instead and thereby provide an audit trail.

Since doing this, they cannot view the presence of windows updates waiting

to be installed on any Domain server. This is despite the fact that the

Domain Admins group is also a member of the Built in Local Admins group. Does

anyone have any ideas?

The only thing I can think of that would cause this is if the user policy

for "remove access to all windows update features" is enabled for these

users.

That would prevent the notifications.
