Fix Cannot Edit Windows Update For Windows 7 Pro

Ran into a weird situation where Windows 7 Pro did not allow me to change the Windows Update schedule.

Turns out you need to edit the group policy.

Go to Start > gpedit.msc then follow in the left pane:

User Configuration
Administrative Templates
Windows Components
Windows Update

In the right pane select Remove Access to use All Windows Update features.

You can enable to disable the feature according to your preference.

Fix DNS on Windows Server 2008

If you run into a situation where you can access your network drives yet are unable to get onto the internet, then you may have a problem with your DNS.

Your DNS is controlled by the DHCP server which you can find on the Windows Server 2008 by going to Server Manager > Roles > DHCP Server. Be sure that DHCP service is running.
