Its not in an xml file, it's in the registry. For example (watch for wrappage):   echo off   REM criticalupdate.bat REM . REM This batch file updates a client computer's registry to REM load critical updates from a specified SUS server - it REM updates the registry entries to do that update "immediately" - REM which actually means "starting in 10 minutes". The Automatic REM Updates service presumes that it starts at boot, and it REM wants to wait until the system has reached stability before REM it begins doing anything. REM . REM This is meant to be used on standalone workstations or REM standalone servers or SUS deployments that are not in an REM active directory environment. REM . REM set SUSSERVER to the server that is running SUS REM set SUSSHARE to the name of the share on SUSSERVER that REM contains the MUAU22.msi file REM . REM Those two will be used to create SUSFILE which points to REM the location of the MUAU update for Windows XP RTM and REM Windows 2000 sp2. REM . REM SUSSERVER is also used to create registry keys. REM . REM Thanks to Bob Free for information about the AUState and REM LastWaitTimeout registry entries.   set SUSSERVER=palmyra set SUSSHARE=e set SUSFILE=%SUSSERVER%\%SUSSHARE%\muau22.msi   cls echo Attempting load of %SUSFILE%   msiexec /qn /I %SUSFILE%   echo Stopping Automatic Updates service net stop "Automatic Updates"   echo Building registry file   if exist temp.reg del temp.reg   echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00>>temp.reg echo.>>temp.reg echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]>>temp.reg echo "WUServer"="http://%SUSSERVER%">>temp.reg echo "WUStatusServer"="http://%SUSSERVER%">>temp.reg echo.>>temp.reg echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]>>temp.reg echo "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000>>temp.reg echo "AUOptions"=dword:00000003>>temp.reg echo "UseWUServer"=dword:00000001>>temp.reg echo "ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000>>temp.reg echo "ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000005>>temp.reg echo.>>temp.reg echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]>>temp.reg echo "AUState"=dword:00000002>>temp.reg echo "LastWaitTimeOut"="2000.01.01 00:00:01">>temp.reg   REM type temp.reg   echo Executing registry file   regedit /s temp.reg   del temp.reg   echo Starting Automatic Updates service net start "Automatic Updates"   REM clean up set SUSSERVER= set SUSSHARE= set SUSFILE=   echo Done     -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Magalhaes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 9:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] SUS Just a quick one, does anyone know which XML file stores the SUS servers settings, for example when you schedule the server to update at 3:00am where does it actually store that info, I have looked at the config files in Administration folder in inetpub but nothing there. Anyone know?   Thanks! Carlos Magalhaes
