XP workstation keeps getting same update in WSUS environment
Hi,
I've got several XP SP2 workstations that keep prompting for the same Windows update. The user runs the udpate and reboots but the update comes back (Driving them CRAZY). I've followed a "white paper" on hacking the registry to fix but it didn't work. I've tried cancelling the update in WSUS and that didn't seem to work either.
Any suggestions?

It's a domain policy, can I just quit the domain (to a workgroup) and follow the rest of the steps?

To follow up my previous comment, my workplace allows the user (not only admins) to run the Microsoft Updates.

My users are local admins on their workstations, and I'm not getting any failed messages.
What DID work (or seems to work so far) is updating from the Microsoft website. It saw that the workstation needed the particular update, it ran, restarted and the user has not been prompted to update since. In previous attempts, the prompt would come up a minute or so after booting.
THANKS EVERYONE!!!
