Nah, BITS is the service that downloads WU in the background, the reg entries allow you to schedule/block BITS.

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]<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]<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?
