Disable Windows Updates

[Michael Carty]

Hello,

I have setup a SUS Server and its working fine. I was just
wondering how do I disable the Automatic Update feature in
the control panel as I do not want users updating fixes
that I have not tested.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure, but couldn't you remove access to that applet ?

Create/Edit a GPO, select Control Panel under User Configuration,
Administrative Templates. Enable "Hide specifed control panel applets",
then enter the applet for Automatic Updates...wuaucpl.cpl I think...
