Re: Administrator Rights?

["Times Enemy" <times () krr org>]

Greetings.

Verify the source.
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

Log on as the local admin and try the update.

Log in as a domain admin group member, and try the update.

Create a new account, add it to the Admin group, try the update with it.

Do the updates manually.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/default.mspx

Backup whatever.  Delete their (local) profile, bounce the box, have them
log back in, and try the install.

Verify backup(s).  Reimage the box.
