I referred to below link for registry changes but nothing worked, its showing auto install but server not getting updates I am trying to implement automatic windows update on servers which are under decommission, I have tried creating multiple settings through registry but not able to get this thing worked. You can go up a level to ‘Windows Update’ to check the configured Windows Update server.įinally, here is a really useful list of registry values for Automatic Updates. Now, see the list below minutely to know hexadecimal numeric value details. Here, just change the Dword value of ‘AUoptions’ to bring your desired setting back. In this case I changed the scheduled install day from ‘1 – Sunday’ to ‘4 – Wednesday’, the value of the registry option ScheduledInstallDay has changed from 1 to 4, so I know the change has taken effect.Īnother important thing to note is the UseWUServer option, this must be set to 1 to use a WSUS server, or none of the other options apply. HKEYLOCALMACHINE \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\AUOptions. You’ll notice straight away the data is a decimal or hexadecimal value, you may have noticed too that the options in the GPO editor had a corresponding number. Cross check the settings in the registry with those you changed on the group policy. We can test if the group policy has updated by opening the registry on one of the servers and browsing to: COMPUTER\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU. Go to HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU Create a new 32-bit DWORD value Rename the new value to NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers Set the value to 1 Click OK After you finish, restart Windows and you won’t be bothered by automatic reboots anymore. Furthermore if you are running Windows 2012 or 2012 R2 you can right clicking an OU in group policy management and select Group Policy Update. If you’re using Advanced Group Policy Management you’ll need to right click the GPO and check in, and then deploy the GPO.ĭepending on your environment you may need to wait a short while for replication, you can force a group policy refresh on a server by running gpupdate /force from the command line. For the purpose of this post I have updated the scheduled install day from ‘1 – Every Sunday’ to ‘4 – Every Wednesday’.Ĭlick Ok to save the change. Expand Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Components > Windows Components > Windows Update.ĭouble click the setting you want to change and update as appropriate. If you’re using Advanced Group Policy Management you’ll need to check out the policy before editing. Open Group Policy Management and browse to the relevant GPO you want to update, right click and Edit the GPO. If you need to update group policy to change an update schedule or make other alterations you can do so, even after patches have been approved on the WSUS server.
