Have now updated two AMD boxes and one Windows Media box with no issues - caveat non had OEM installed OS David -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2008 12:03 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: WinXpSP3 from Windows Updates You should create this on your own to be certain you have these very important settings configured properly. Modify the registry on a test system. Verify that it is working appropriately by testing WU/AU on it. If you are successful in blocking the update, export the registry settings to a .REG file and use the REG2ADM.EXE utility to convert the settings into a .ADM administrative template file.
