Well, at the time I wrote auconfig.pl, there was no documentation from Microsoft, so I relied on third-party docs and my own experiments. Nowadays, there is documentation from MS (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=328010), but it lists the other registry key. > The reason I ask is that I was planing to modify the auconfig.pl to > include the posibility to change the windowsupdate server to a local > SUS server, ect. and all docs I have seen says I should use the > policies key. Obviously, we should switch to using the documented key. Except... People discovered the other key by monitoring what the Control Panel GUI tool does. So what happens if you set the "Policies" key in the registry, and then the user tries to change the settings with the GUI? I would like to know before we make this change. Anybody care to experiment? - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
