I have also been disabling it, and my clients in quesion are hooked up via shared(!) 56K modem (singular).
Win Auto Updating is a project for my business in Q1 '03. I have tried (not bought) some nice tools that manage this stuff, and in fact just minutes ago downloaded HFNETCHK from MS so I can check the status of hotfixes w/out visiting every PC and hitting "Windows Update". Are you asking about the best way to disable the automatic update feature? I'd bet it's a reg hack that can be hit by a login script, but I haven't personally put much time into it yet.

So far I've been generally disabling that service on my boxes, is there a concensus out there of whether this a reasonable way to do it? A better way? David A.
