Disable Windows Update

[Jeff]

We are running Active Directory on Windows Server 2003. I want to use Group
Policy to disable the ability of our users to go to
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com As I look at the GPO admin templates,
there is a user configuration item to do this; however, it says it only
works on WinXP Pro clients. Also, it says that it disables the auto update
client as well. We are using the AU client for Software Update Services.

How can I continue to ahve Users update via AU and SUS but remove the
ability for them to manually install updates from WIndows Update?

Thanks,

Jeff

Use administratife templates for SUS to point Your orkstation to Your
SUS server as WU server
