Windows Update + Active Directory/Group Policy == Pain

Ahoy (sorry for cross-posting to this usenet group too, but I'm rather
desparate for a responce)

BTW, I'm not using WSUS/MOM/SUS/Whatever.

This is just a vanilla Windows 2003 Domain with 3 member computers, 1 DC,
and 1 member server. (the member server is actually a WS2003 installation
running under VirtualPC on one of the member computers)

On all the computers except the domain controller Windows Update/Microsoft
Update both fail with the error code "0x8007F004". The error-message "You do
not have sufficient permission to update Windows XP" is also displayed
whenever I try to run patch programs manually.

This happens regardless of if I'm using the computer as the domain
administrator, as a member of the administrators group, or as a local
administrator.

I traced the problem back to my Active Directory installation, since this
only affects domain computers.

I've made a thread about this on a forum where there's some more additional
information and some screenshots:

Any ideas?
