IIRC, at a past employer, we pushed a GPO (or registry change) to either kill BITS altogether or only allow it at certain times.

I'll check that out. It seems that stopping the AU services on the clients didn't stop the downloads in process. They did finally finish, but slowed everything to a crawl while they were downloading. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 10:34 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Cancel wsus clients downloading updates I don't think so - the BITS service is the one downloading the updates. You can use bitsadmin.exe to see what's in the queue and kill them (from the client side) Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: David Mazzaccaro [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 24 May 2012 10:11 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Cancel wsus clients downloading updates Will stopping the "automatic updates" service on a windows xp client stop a download that is already in progress from my wsus server? Latest batch of .net updates are large and killing my wan.
