Now that I have Software Updates working nicely, Group Policy configured (or not, as it were) correctly, and a patch 'workflow' nearly sorted out, one other question has arised. It's not a show stopper, but is troubling all the same...
Once the GP is configured so that control is handed over to the SCCM Client, I've noticed that the yellow Windows Update shield appears in the System Tray and asks you to configure how Automatic Updates should work (ie. download + install automatically at xx:xx, download + notify etc.). Can I use the available options in GP to suppress this, or will the presence of Windows Update GPOs confuse the SCCM Client? Im concerned that if I don't address this, user confusion aside, many machines may be configured to just grab updates off the internet instead of our SCCM/WSUS configuration.

Hi all,
Now that I have Software Updates working nicely, Group Policy configured (or not, as it were) correctly, and a patch 'workflow' nearly sorted out, one other question has arised. It's not a show stopper, but is troubling all the same...

Any ideas/suggestions/opinions/experiences?
Cheers,
