Error Code: 8007f004 AndyC 5/30/2007 10:21:01 AM The error code 8007f004 means that the logged in user does not have sufficient privilidges to install the updates. Is there a way round this without having to walk round to every machine and logging on as local admin?? Andy -- m8ywebhosting.co.uk

Re: Error Code: 8007f004 AndyC 5/30/2007 4:37:01 PM Lawrence we have group policy set to download and notify which works for our particular situation. Only one machine has experienced this issue today, all of the others have worked with the users able to click on install and have all the updates complete without any issues. So why is just one machine playing up?

Fair enough... but "Download and Notify" *requires* that the user tasked with installing the updates be a member of the local Administrators group. > Only one machine has experienced this issue today, all > of the others have worked with the users able to click on install and have > all the updates complete without any issues.

Most likely because *that* user is not a member of the local Administrators group on the PC where the update(s) are being installed. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....
