Windows 7 Says I Need Administrator Permission But I Am Administrator
0x8DDD0002Posted: 13 January 2006 at 2:32pm I've got a weird problem with windows update - it windows update managed by system administrator fails with the message Error number: 0x8DDD0002 To install items from Windows Update, you must be logged onas an administrator or a member windows update can't check for updates because settings on this pc are controlled of the Administrators group.If your computer is connected to a network, network policysettings may also prevent you from completing thisprocedure.This came up just a few days ago, before the security update for the wmf vulnerability came out on http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-update/windows-update-error-0x8ddd0002/9b6fa761-fc33-4d15-bc78-cc0e2fb29a12 the 6 or 7 of January.Now, Microsoft's KB article #316524support.microsoft.com/kb/316524/en-usprecisely describes my problem but doesn't solve it. The system is XP Home edition with SP2. Please have a look at the details of my troubleshooting attempts and let me know if you have any ideas..I went through the five troubleshooting steps provided in the KB article but found some didn't work and others did not seem to apply:1. check you're logged in as administrator - check. I also http://forum.sysinternals.com/wupdate-fails-with-error-code-0x8ddd0002_topic3521.html tried creating a new admin account, then logging into it and try to update from there, no joy.2. delete IE temp files - sure, but doesn't work.3. alter permissions for Windows Update registry entry: done as described (adding a setting for 'everyone'), no joy. Also, I saw nothing unusual with the existing permissions for the admin-user accounts. 4. Change security settings for the c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder: This one's odd because I don't have a security tab in the folder's properties window - only a file sharing tab and that one doesn't allow me to set user permissions. So I cannot set permissions on this folder as it is.Q. Should I have a security tab - and is this an indicator for something being wrong with the folder? 5. rename the catroot2 folder. did so, no joy.Thoughts?
