hello experts,<br />
<br />
I have a problem....... we were hit hard with the conficker virus and it seems that this virus sets automatic updates and the bits service to disabled.... I have about 300-400 machines that has these services set to disabled status. &nbsp;I need to find a way to set these services back to AUTOMATIC and them to start...... is there a way this can be done VIA group policy?? with these services not running these machines are not getting updates from WSUS and i really need this to work<br />
<br />
HELP !!!!<br />

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
