I have a couple different machines or guests and they will not run Windows Update. I am running VirtualBox 4.3.12. The error says the service is not running but when I look at the services Windows Update Service is started. Thanks for any help,

Moved to "Windows Guests" since the host is not relevant to the question.
What precisely is the guest?

The guest is a Windows 7 SP1 OS. I think I answered this myself. I have the guests as members of our Domain and I just created a new guest by applying an image. On first running the new guest I tried Windows Update and went to turn on the Update Other Microsoft Products (Office) and that failed to install, a hint was given that Group Policy may be blocking. I tried removing the guest from the domain and now it is running Update
. Thanks and I am sorry I posted in the wrong section
