This is a bit complex but hopefully some one can show me the way.
we have a WSUS(1) server that recieves its updates from an (upsteam?) WSUS(2) server that in a diffrent domain.
WSUS(1) was configured to let user know that there was updates available, and it was up to the users to download and install the updates..
Here is the setting from the registery, this file is installed on each machine on that network…..
————————————————————————–
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
“WUServer”=”http://WSUS(1)”
“WUStatusServer”=”http://WSUS(1)”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
“NoAutoUpdate”=dword:00000000
“AUOptions”=dword:00000004
“NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers”=dword:00000001
“RescheduleWaitTime”=dword:0000001e
“ScheduledInstallDay”=dword:00000000
“ScheduledInstallTime”=dword:00000010
“UseWUServer”=dword:00000001
“LastWaitTimeout”=-
“DetectionStartTime”=-

This works well, but as you can imagine, having to chase users to install patches can be tiresome. i want to make this process automatic.
so what i have done now is, removed that reg file from a test machine, and edited the GPO so that windows Update service will download and install these updates automatically once a week.
but its not working for me…. 🙁
has any one any suggestions for me to try? all help appreaciated.
Regards
Damien
