SP2 "help protect your pc" screen at first reboot after sp2 instal

Hi all,

Sorry for the re-post but I really want to find a solution.

After I installed SP2 and rebooted, "help protect your pc" screen will be
displayed and need someone to answer whether to activate the auto update
services or not.

Although I already enabled AutoUpdate before the reboot, the "help protect
your pc" screen still displayed and interrupted my reboot process.

And this interruption prevent me to remote control my long distant pc and I
have to go a long way to manually answer the questions. I really need a way
to prevent this interruption and I have many PC to update as well.

So, is it possible to disable this "help protect your pc" screen for the
first reboot after sp2 was installed?

Thanks,

David

Just do as it suggests, and you will be able to do all that you want after
the initial processes..

Maybe use the sp2 deployment tools can help. Any experience on using it?
Like sysrep?
