Install World Wide Web Publishing Service Windows Server 2008 R2
Hi, Complete newbie here so sorry if this is simple.
I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 x64 Edition (KB2463332) onto Windows SBS 2011. Server was massively out of date with updates, have been manually going on and checking for updates this week. Almost all of them have installed fine except for this one. When trying to install it a window pops up saying:
Configuring IIS 7.0 or later World Wide Web Publishing Service in a Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012. The service named World Wide Web publishing service was not starting. This could be in case the IIS isn't shutdown cleanly. This could break the services like World Wide Web publishing service (w3svc).
'Installation was not successful
This program is blocked by group policy. American government institutions and policies 14th edition ap. For more information, contact your system administrator.
Error: ERROR_ACCESS_DISABLED_BY_POLICY(0x800704ec)'
I'm sure this is a simple thing to solve but I have no knowledge of group policy so no idea what I'm looking for.
Also, in Windows Small Business Server 2011 standard console, under 'Network Essentials Summary, Updates are 'Not Available' and if I go to Security > Updates > All 4 categories show 'An error occurred while retrieving updates information'.
Would really appreciate any guidance on this.

UPDATE: Tried working backwards using this link: http://sangnak.com/disable-wsus-on-sbs-2008-or-2011/
In IIS>Sites, WSUS Administration is stopped. If I go to start it, it tells me: 'The world wide web publishing service (W3SVC) is stopped', which I've just checked and it is. Will starting this do anything? Why would it be stopped?
