Ok we are running Win2K pro and are responsible for installing and maintaining all the updates on these machines to comply with the guys that run the domain, but on 3 of the machines that we have tried to updated with the security patches and updates under the admnistrator account, a warning is displayed saying that the admin account is not part of the admin group. When checked under admin tools computer management users and groups, it states that it is. My question, is there any way to check these user and group settings in the registry or any where else that may restore the admin privs. to the admnin account?

Thanks

It sounds like the Domain Policy is over-riding the local policy. I would start by asking the guys that run the domain what sort of privalges the computer has when logged into the domain and if this is creating the problem

Hope this helps..!
