Cause

This problem occurs if one of the following conditions is true:
  • You used a security template before you upgraded the computer to Windows XP SP2 or to Windows Server 2003 SP1.
  • You change the properties of the RPC service to use the Local System account instead of the Network System account.
  • You configure the Automatic Updates service by using Group Policy. This causes security settings to be applied to the Automatic Updates service.
