I'm interested in preventing the Automatic Updates configuration screen
from popping up after rebooting from an SP2 install. The screen pops up
and asks if I want to turn on Automatic Updates. There is no bypass
option, just on/off. It fills the entire screen before coming up to the
logon prompt.
All of my computers are set to download and prompt, which is the way I
want to keep it.
So is there a way to keep this behavior and get rid of the configuration
screen?
I would really appreciate the help.
BTW, I found a way to disable the firewall. Put these lines in a .reg
file and run to disable the new Windows Firewall (This setting is only
for the new SP2 firewall. I understand it persists even through an SP2
installation. See details in this document: http://tinyurl.com/ytmue):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\DomainProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall\StandardProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=dword:00000000
