How To: Configure Windows Update Using GPO

| | No TrackBacks
To maintain an appropriate level of security, all the computers in the intranet must be properly updated. Configuring automatic update schedule on every individual computer can take a significant amount of time. Group policy can make this simpler.


Import the appropriate ADM file into GPO you wish to use. To achieve that, open the group policy object, expand "Computer Configuration" tab. Right-click on "Administrative Templates", select "Add/Remove Template". Click on "Add" and select wuau.adm file from %WinDir%\Inf folder.

Now you can configure Windows Updates by opening
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update
All the general configuration parameters for the Windows Update (including general configuration, download location, scheduling, and auto-restart feature) can be set up there.
