Hide Windows Update Icon

by men . Updated 18 years, 10 months ago

I’m in the proccess of setting up SUS server in a test environment. Our regular environment is still using NT PDC and BDCs, so I’m changing the clients through the registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU.
I have read the windows articles and I know what the keys within the Windows update hive do, but I was wondering if their is a setting somewhere or a registry hack to disable the Icon from popping up in the tool bar when there are updates. I’m trying to make the proccess as invisible to the clients as possible to prevent any type of user interaction. I know how to lock it down so they can’t change anything, but I would just prefer that they didn’t even know that it is updating at night. Thank you in advance.
