Ideas?
You can just use registry files and execute via the loginscript, [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] "RescheduleWaitTime"=dword:00000001 "NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001 "NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000 "AUOptions"=dword:00000004 "ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000 "ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003 "UseWUServer"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] "WUServer"="http://yoursusserver.here.somedomain/" "WUStatusServer"="http://yoursusserver.here.somedomain/" More information about what every key does can be found on http://www.susserver.com/FAQs/FAQ-AutoUpdateSettings.asp Been running perfectly fine at my site for a few months now. Btw, thanks for the sanur tip, didn't know something like that existed as freeware ;-) I've been looking into tqcrunas to fix that password problem. --Wim -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
