"Synchronize Now" and other options are grayed out?

I'm pretty sure this is not technically a WSUS issue but it's only affecting WSUS in this scenario, so...
I have 4 WSUS servers, all in the same OU in Active Directory.  1 is my master server, the other 3 are the replicas.  About a week ago, all of the sudden my 3 replicas have "Synchronize Now" is grayed out.  Server Cleanup Wizard and WSUS Server Configuration Wizard are grayed out in the Options view, but even the other options say "You do not have sufficient permissions to modify these settings" when I click on them.  As a result I can't do manual synchronizations if I have to make a quick approval change.  My nightly synchs still occur, thankfully.  This is not an issue on my master server even though it is in the same OU and (from what I can tell) the same permissions are applied.
I'm an administrator (triple checked group membership in Administrators, when I log in, AU prompts me for updates, etc).  I don't know what permissions it is missing.  Running Server 2003, and checked to make sure the shortcut doesn't have a funky permissions restriction.  I'm at a complete loss.  I've rebooted the servers several times for other things, removed any updates that were recently installed...
Pretty positive it's something simple but it is escaping me.  It is possible the server admin team changed something in AD or on the servers themselves, but I've checked what I know to check and don't see anything suspect.  A little help?  What permissions make the WSUS console "go"?

An update to this.  :/
Got impatient enough to remove WSUS and all its components from the least important server, rebooted, re-installed WSUS and (so far) nothing is grayed out or is malfunctioning in any way.
Has anyone ever seen this happen to them?  I searched google quite a bit on this one, and found nothing but this thread linked below, which didn't describe my issue except for the 3rd (and final) post.

  • Contact Sheet II, Picture Package, & other options are grayed out on File menu

    I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 yesterday, and Contact Sheet II, Picture Package, & other options are grayed out on the File menu.

  • Slow motion and other effects are grayed out

    Just switched from iMovie 9 to 11, and can't take advantage of the slow motion, instant replay and other effects, because they are all grayed out in the Clip menu. Why? I do not see the "convert entire clip" option referred to in the help file. What is wrong?

    Yes, that is it. The trailers are pretty scripted.
    If you want to add an effect to a trailer, first complete the trailer.
    Then, in the Project Library List view, right click on the trailer name, and select DUPLICATE. (This will give you a copy of the trailer in case you want to edit it some more.)
    Then, with the trailer name still selected, click FILE/CONVERT TO PROJECT.
    This will turn your trailer into a normal project, and you can use any of the capabilities of iMovie, including the slow motion and instant replay effects.

  • HT6437 My itunes cannot locate my ipod. All the sync option are grayed out and diagnostics says that itunes cannot find usb ports and that no device is connected when it is. What should I do to solve this issue?

    So itunes is giving me problems. Since around Christmas time, itunes decided to stop reading my ipod. I connect it to my computer with the usb cable and my computer will recognize that a device is connected but itunes will not. If I go to file->devices and try to sync, all of my sync options are grayed out, while before it would just automatically sync.
    When I run diagnostics it tells me that under ports that it cannot find usb ports (it has a green circle?), a type of cable isn't found, and that no device is connected with the usb cable (which my ipod is). I have been trying to fix this issue but nothing is working. I've tried restarting my ipod, itunes, and my computer, i've also tried resetting my ipod and uninstalling itunes then reinstalling itunes but nothing seems to be working.
    Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

    Do the USB ports work for other devices?
    Does the iPod charge?
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with                  
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

  • In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

    Thank you for your attempt to help me. I appreciate that.
    I think I figured out how to fix it-
    I found that if I only delete a small amount at the beginning and at the end of the section that I want to remove - and then highlight that section - Then (and only then) does the "Delete and Move" function work to remove the unwanted section and automatically close the gap between the surrounding sections. I was trying to select a whole section and could only delete it - and then manually move it.
    Problem solved.

  • Want to forward ports, but 'add' and 'default host' are grayed out! help!

    Hey folks. Configuring my laptop to access a new airport express plugged in one floor below me. great signal connection works fine, but of course it isn't forwarding ports i want... so I go to set it up... now, the owner of the house set it up first, but he told me the password so I could futz with it... now when i pull up the base station config in airport admin, the relevant options are grayed out! The whole section in which default host option is located is grayed out, as are all the buttons e.g. 'add' on the forward ports tab! I've tried doing all the tricks I can think of; if anyone has any insight as to where to look to fix this, I'd appreciate it enorm.

    Copy these commands into TextEdit, replace the bracketed part with your username and the quoted parts with the ext HD's name, retaining the quotes.
    sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
    sudo chmod a+rx /Volumes/"name of ext HD"
    Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities, copy and paste the first one into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. When the Password: prompt pops up, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows on the screen, and hit the return key. Copy & paste the other two, one at a time, following each with hitting the return key. You won't get the password prompt, since the initial one's good for five minutes.
    Quit the Terminal app and you should be able to read and write to the ext HD.

  • I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out, as well as the "Open" option. I have removed Kaspersky to sure.

    I cannot open downloaded files. The "Open" & "Open Containing Folder" options are grayed out. Cannot right-click on the files to open. File does not appear in the targeted folder. If "opened," the files provide an error message. Issue is primarily with MS Word.

    If "Open" and "Open Containing Folder" in the right-click context menu in the Download Manager window are grayed then that means that the file is no longer in the original download location.<br />
    It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.<br />
    See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

  • How do I digitally sign with reader XI when the fill and sign functions are grayed out?

    I am using Adobe Reader XI. I am suppose to digitally sign a fillable .pdf document for online submission. However, the fill and sign functions are grayed out.
    What are my options to put a signature in the signature box of the document?
    Thank you in advance!

    Pat Willener,
    Thank you for replying.
    Here is an image capture of the properties.
    The document is part of a job application that is suppose to be digitally signed and submitted soon. I have thought about printing, signing, and redigitizing to submit, however, the cells are statically sized and do not expand to include all of the information when printed.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Cannot Share - All Options are Grayed Out

    New to iMovie '08 and having problems getting my projected rendered. Here's what I did: First, I imported 4 .mp4 files. No problem there. They came in in the order I wanted, all the thumbnails are fine, I can play it from the 'play' button at the very lower left and all I want to do now is burn to DVD. However, all the Share options are gray. Yes, I select the project in the Library before trying to Share. Of note, the 'play' button on the middle left at the bottom of the upper half of iMovie, if I press that, does nothing. What's going on? How do I get this thing rendered? Thanks!

    David,
    Have you moved the clips you wish to use in your project from the Library to the Project pane?
    From what you describe, it sounds like you haven't.

  • Any reasons why these options are grayed out in PSA? Transfer/Create/Delete

    Hi,
    I have a flat file mater data attri in PSA and it is not showing in Targeted InfoObject. When I select all the objects in the PSA, I thought the "Transfer" option in the menu option List, would let me transfer the selected data into the customer infoobj but Transfer, Create and Delete options under List in the PSA are grayed out.
    Any reasons for these options being grayer out?
    Any way to push the data from here in the the InfoObject?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    thanks for the input.
    No, this is not through process chain
    I created infopak to load the data from flat file... which placed it in the PSA.
    Then I created DTP which is supposed to take the data to the Customer InfoObj  but it did not. That is why I wanted to manually push it from PSA to InfoObj.
    Any more help?
    Thanks
