Support

I have a client that is running a 2000 server w/ sp4 installed, they have 5
workstation running XP-Pro logged on to the sever. When I try to install
XP-SP2 on any of the workstations from a cd-XP-Pro sp2. It starts the
upgrade, creates the folder on the c:\ drive. It expands the files then I get
this Setup Error message “You don not have permissions to update windows,
please consult your administrator” Went to the sever and give my self
Administrator permissions logged on again same problem. Logged off the
server and logged on as the local administrator, same problem. Shut down the
workstation unplugged the network connection, logged back on as local
administrator, same problem, when to safe mode as local administrator. Same
error. There is no error in the event viewer.
I haven’t found any articles on this problem.

I have upgraded to xp-sp2 or other workstation that were on a 2000 server
without any problem.

Help!!

Sounds as if a "Group Policy" has been put in place to prevent installing
software, even updates would fall into this category.
