Default Windows update and Administrator Account
Running Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell. I cannot set my Update to automatic
because it says some settings are managed by the Administrator. I AM the
Administrator. I cannot get the updates to configure correctly because the
Automatic Update is greyed out.
What can I do?

Default Re: Windows update and Administrator Account
Click Start, type gpedit.msc and press ENTER
Goto the following branch:

Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Update

Double-click "Configure Automatic Updates"
Set it to "Not configured"

Note: If it is already set to "Not configured", enable the Policy and revert the setting back to "Not configured". This resets any registry based Policy if set already.

Default Re: Windows update and Administrator Account
I tried to do as you suggested but it couldn't open the gpedit.msc. I went
into sys32 and found group editor. Tried to run it and a dos window opened
and said that the update was sucessful. I don't seem to have gredit in my
version do I?

Linda, gpedit.msc is most definitely included in Ultimate. Are you by any
chance joined to a Domain?

Jane,Thanks for the suggestion. No I am not part of a Domain. I looked for
gpedit.msc and couldn't find it in my folders. I hit start and run and typed
in the command but it says it can't find gpedit.msc. Thanks again.

I did try it and it didn't work. I looked in system32 and I have gpedit.dll
and that is the only gpedit folder I have. Thank You.

Default Re: Windows update and Administrator Account
Group Policy Editor is certainly included in Windows Vista Ultimate. Type "winver" in Start, Search box and press ENTER. This shows the Operating System / edition installed in your computer.

To remove the AU/WU restrictions, you may use this REG:
http://www.winhelponline.com/fixes/wupolicy_remove.reg

Download wupolicy_remove.reg and save to Desktop.
Right-click "wupolicy_remove.reg" and choose Merge
Click "Continue", and click "Yes" to confirm the Merge.

You said "Running Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dell." in your original post. Anyway, the REG file applies to all editions of XP/Vista. See if you're able to access the Automatic Updates options after applying the REG file.
