We found an interesting issue yesterday with the Automatic Updates service. Apparently if you have ever used Group Policy to manage the start up of that service, Group Policy messes up the permissions of the service. We found a nice little workaround here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555336.
Basically just create a batch file with this command in it and push it out to all of your SMS clients. Note all of this must be on one line.
