I set up a GPO to set the start of the Automatic Update service to Automatic. As
soon as I configure the GPO (in GPEDIT) It prompts for Security and I clicked
OK. When applied this caused the security to be set on the target computer such
that the service cannot be started.

1) I see now that If I click cancel on the security prompt the setting remains
"not configured". Is this the correct way to change a service startup without
changing the security settings.

2) How do you "unconfigure" the security in the GPO once it is set to
configured. I see no way to do this.

3) How do you set the security on a PC that had the security changed by the
first GPO back to its default installed setting so the service will start.


Domain is W2003, Client is XP, I have access to W2008 GPO tools if this will let
me change the security setting where the GPMC will not.
