Disable Windows Update

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

Hi Michael

You actually configure the automatic updates to point at your SUS server.
This can be done via group policy under

Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components ->
Windows Update.

Kind regards

You can do that via a GPO.
User Config/Admin Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update/Remove access
to use Windows Update features. Set to Enabled

Thais will stop the user using Windows Update but will not prevent your
Automatic Updates from working.
