This script detects and tries to fix the error related to start up of Automatic Updates and BITS services on network computers. Such error is related to security identifier (EventID 7023 and EventID 7024). This problem is usually observed on network computers after applying changes to group policies. In such cases the script will reset a security identifier as per Microsoft KB 555336 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555336) and start Automatic Updates and BITS. Can be usefull for networks where Windows Server Update Services 3.0 (WSUS) is used.
