SYMPTOMS

In some cases, the AU service terminates with the following event log error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7023
User: N/A
Computer: W2000XP
Description:
The Automatic Updates service terminated with the
following error: The class is configured to run as a security id different from the caller.

BACKGROUND

This error was seen in a cloned PC environment that used newsid.exe to resolve SID duplication on cloned systems. The machine started complaining upon trying to start the AU service after that. Deleted the registry values that contain the WUS GUID's. But can't seem to start the AU service.

Note: If you (Microsoft) fix this problem, please let us know here.

Track ID is: 198320380.
