That isn’t actually a GUID for a GPO, it’s a generic GUID for Machine Policy Present / User Policy Present. This probably is the best explanation I’ve found so far, but it still is confusing to me as to what / when the service actually gets triggered to start.

The disturbing part may just be lack of understanding, but we’re seeing machines change from having the Windows Update service set as Automatic (Delayed Start) to Manual (Triggered Start). So far my investigation has lead me to find that the trigger is tied what appears to be a group policy event. Can anyone enlighten me? This is the output from all the changed machines. They don’t appear to be version dependent so I’m leaning toward a possible Windows Update change. So far my google-fu is only turning up explanations about what the configuration means, nothing about when/why it might have changed. >sc qtriggerinfo wuauserv [SC] QueryServiceConfig2 SUCCESS SERVICE_NAME: wuauserv START SERVICE GROUP POLICY : 659fcae6-5bdb-4da9-b1ff-ca2a178d46e0 [MACHINE POLICY PRESENT] START SERVICE GROUP POLICY : 54fb46c8-f089-464c-b1fd-59d1b62c3b50 [USER POLICY PRESENT] -------------------- Melvin Backus | Sr. Systems Engineer | Byers Engineering Company | 404.497.1565<tel:404.497.1565> Service Desk | 404-497-1599<tel:404-497-1599> | http://servicedesk.byers.com -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.
