I'll paste the resolution that is included in the link on my previous post.
Problem Description:
While accessing Windows Update, the following error message appears.
Access Denied
Network policy settings prevent you from using Windows Update to download and
install updates on your computer. If you believe you have received this message in error,
please check with your system administrator.
Resolutions:
Check your registry to see if either of the following values exists:
1. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUp
date] "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess"=dword:00000001 Modify it to 0 or delete it.
2. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001
These keys will block user access to the Windows Update site if set incorrectly. Make sure these keys are set to 0 to allow access.
This also will occur if the account that the user is sign on does not have full permissions
to the Program Files\Windowsupdate\V4\Temp folder and the iuident.cab is not in this folder.
