Help!!!!!
I have a PC at work running Media Center 2005. It became necessary to join
it to the domain to regularly access another machine. We performed the so
called 'banana hack' and everything is running fine. Apart from the fact that
Windows Defender won't update. When trying to run Windows updates to solve
that problem I get this error code: 0x800a0046. I have tried all four
solutions that various web sources suggest and none of them work. Do you
think the only way to update my PC is to remove it from the domain then
rejoin??

Not quite sure what you mean by "banana hack", but this MSKB article
states : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918355
