Version5 error

I am getting error number 0x8DDD0018 at version 5. I did have auto updates
on disable but I enabled it and have checked and the service is running but
I still get the error message that auto updates is not enabled and thus I
cannot use WUpdates. I tried going to version 4 by typing it in the address
bar and that had worked until tonite. Now, instead of reaching version 4, I
am redirected to version 5.

How do I get version 5 to see that auto updates is enabled and the service
is running?

Hi

From a previous post for this error code:

Hi,
The problem is with the Security descriptor on BITS and wuauserv services.
On XPSP2, the ACL on these services should give
Network Service account at least the following permissions
SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG
SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS
SERVICE_ENUMERATE_DEPENDENTS
SERVICE_INTERROGATE
This is needed in XPSP2 due to some security related changes in DCOM

Please see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...asp?frame=true
for more information about the ACLs on a service.

On your machine, Network Service account doesnt have the above permissions
and hence BITS/Wuauserv services are not able to start.


To solve the problem on your machine now, you need to change the SD on
BITS/wuauserv services so that Network Service can get access.
To reset the ACL on the service to default, run the following command as
Domain Administrator or Local System account on the machine. (only these
accounts can modify the ACL on these services on your machine)

1.
sc sdset bits
"DA;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTL OCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWR PWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)"

2.
sc sdset wuauserv
"DA;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTL OCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWR PWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)"

Note that the commands under 1. and 2. needs to be on one line. You
should run them from a command prompt. Open a command prompt like this:

Start/Run, and then type cmd.exe

Hi Melelina,

Please verify the Automatic Update service "Status" is set to "Automatic"

Note: Even if you are not using the Automatic Updates feature, the service
must be enabled and set to Automatic for Windows Update.

Set Automatic Update service to Automatic and verify the Status is Started
and set Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to Manual
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type services.msc and then click OK.
3. In the list of services, right-click on Automatic Updates and then click
Properties.
4. In the Startup type list, select Automatic and click Apply
5. Verify that the Service status is started, if the Service Status is
Stopped click on the Start Button.
6. In the list of services, right-click on Background Intelligent Transfer
Service (BITS) and then click Properties.
7. In the Startup type list, select Manual and click Apply
8. Verify that the Service status is started, If the Service Status is
Stopped click on the Start Button.
9. Click OK.
