.. Configuring Automatic Updates by Editing the Registry
WARNING: If you modify the registry incorrectly, serious problems may occur
that require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that the problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own
risk.
Microsoft recommends that you back up the registry before you modify it. If
you are running Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 2000, also update
your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).
In a non-Active Directory environment, you can edit registry settings to
configure Automatic Updates.
NOTE: You must manually create these registry keys.
You can use either of the following methods to set these registry keys:
a.. Manually edit the registry by using Regedit.exe.
b.. Centrally deploy these registry keys by using the Windows NT 4.0-style
System Policy functionality.
To use Registry Editor:
1.. Start Registry Editor.
2.. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
3.. Add any of the following settings:
a.. Value name: NoAutoUpdate
Value data: 0 or 1
a.. 0: Automatic Updates is enabled (default).
b.. 1: Automatic Updates is disabled.
Registry Value Type: Reg_DWORD
b.. Value name: AUOptions
Value data: 2 to 4
a.. 2: Notify of download and installation.
b.. 3: Automatically download and notify of installation.
c.. 4: Automatically download and scheduled installation.
Registry Value Type: Reg_DWORD
c.. Value name: ScheduledInstallDay
Value data: 0 to 7
a.. 0: Every day.

Registry Value Type: Reg_DWORD
d.. Value name: ScheduledInstallTime
Value data: n, where n equals the time of day in a 24-hour format
(0-23).

e.. Value name: UseWUServer
Value data: Set this value to 1 to configure Automatic Updates to use a
server that is running Software Update Services instead of Windows Update.
Registry Value Type: Reg_DWORD
f.. Value name: RescheduleWaitTime
Value data: m, where m equals the amount of time (in minutes, 1-60,
representing 1 minute to 60 minutes) to wait between the time Automatic
Updates starts and the time it begins installations whose scheduled time has
passed.
Registry Value Type: Reg_DWORD
Note This setting only affects client behavior after the clients have
updated to the SUS SP1 client version or later.
g.. Value name: NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers
Value data: Reg_DWORD: 0 (false) or 1 (true). If set to 1, Automatic
Updates does not automatically restart a computer while users are logged on.
Registry Value Type: Reg_DWORD
Note This setting affects client behavior after the clients have updated
to the SUS SP1 client version or later.
