Why users are not getting the popup screen to ask them to rebootafter a WU that requires a reboot?

Environment: Users are local admin of their WinXPpro. We have a
win2003 domain.

Here is a copy of our windows update gpo:

Computer Configuration (Enabled)hide

Disabled

Check for updates at the following
interval (hours): 12

Policy Setting
Configure Automatic Updates Enabled
Configure automatic updating: 4 - Auto download and schedule the
install
The following settings are only required
and applicable if 4 is selected.

===============================================================================

Here is my only clue taken from the c:\WINDOWS\WindowsUpdate.log
(that make no sense for me because everything is working well EXCEPT
the popup asking the user to reboot (when required by the update):

2008-10-20 13:20:06:846 724 83c AU Launched new AU client for

Re: Why users are not getting the popup screen to ask them to rebootafter a WU that requires a reboot?

Well, this is neither the GPO, WSUS, nor WS2K3 newsgroups but, 80240025
signifies " User access to Windows Update is prevented by Group Policy
setting. "
That 'appears' to be coming from

User Configuration (Enabled)hide
Remove access to use all Windows Update features Enabled

Suggest posting this exactly as you did here to the GPO NG:
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.group_policy
or, WSUS NG:
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...crosoft.public.windows.server.update_services

for a more informed answer.
