Have several pc's that are missing the update tab in Java.

Windows XP sp3

Anyone ever encounter anything like this?

I guess I could go that route.... but why just 1 group of computers? Did 45 Vista machines and no problems.

III. Configure Java Updates
Automatic Update Feature
...............
3. Click the Update tab.
Note: The Update tab may not be available if your network administrator has disabled the Java Update feature during installation.

I removed a computer from the Domain and still no update tab. I have 44 other XP machines + 45 Vista machines that have the tab.

I'm updating a network of 60 tomorrow, just finished getting the MSI and whipped up the GPO, when they boot up and log in tomorrow...presto....latest java is silently installed, no toolbar when you download the corporate package from sun.java.com

Now to get the same setup for Flash, Shockwave, and Reader.

It is just so odd that out of 150 computers, why this particular group is missing the update tab.
