I received the following error on the client:
Could not start the Automatic Updates service on local computer
.. Error 0×80004015: The class is configured to run as a security ID
different from the caller.
Found the following:
This can happen when your Windows XP clients download their updates from the
WSUS server and is due to a permissions issue. The quickest and the easiest
solution would be to reset the permissions on the Automatic Updates client
and then try and detect the Automatic Update Server once again.
To display the current status of the Automatic Updates status
1. Click Start – Run and type “cmd” to launch the Command prompt
2. From the command prompt, type
C:\>SC sdshow wuauser
D

A;;CCLCSWRPLORC;;;AU)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRC WDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;SY)
Now, reset the permissions as follows from the command prompt
C:\>SC sdset wuauserv
D

A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLO CRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRP WPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)
As for the Client Diagnostic Tool (the local user did not have permissions
to run the tool - hence the error)
I have it all working now. Thanks for your help. Resetting the components
did the trick.
