Currently on a computer running Windows 7 on a domain the Windows Update does not run by itself because "You receive updates: Managed by your system administrator". The error code is 8024402C
Detail: Open Windows Update, there you see a red message "Windows could not search for new updates", Code 8024402C. Below there is an interesting message: "Your receive updates: Managed by your system administrator".
At the bottom there is a link "Check online for updates from Microsoft Update". If I click it it will work but I want the windows update to work by itself not manually.
This system is not connected to the domain most of the time (laptop).
In Microsoft knowledge-base they say that this is caused by WSUS (Windows Server Update Services).
I want to have automatic updates from WU and WSUS in the same time. If this is not possible I would like to know how can I switch from WSUS to WU. I do have administrator account for local computer.
1The reason MS doesn't allow both is because that defeats the whole purpose of a WSUS server on a domain. The purpose of the WSUS server is so IT can test the patches and verify them before they are approved to go out to the users. If you defeat the WSUS server, or allow the computer to just download patches straight from Windows Update you are are more likely to get a patch that will break something on your computer. Then you will be crying to the IT department that your computer doesn't work right when you were the one who did it. If you are having this issue, please work with your IT departm – None – 2011-03-11T18:57:48.513
