Hello 🙂
I did do some searching before I posted here….and I know know this article exists:
https://batchpatch.com/enabling-microsoft-update-instead-of-windows-update-on-target-computers-with-batchpatch
…and I read a thread about the same thing….
https://batchpatch.com/forums/x/topic/is-there-a-way-to-change-the-windows-update-config-through-batchpatch/However, in my environment, BP is not able to set the parameter:
“specify intranet Microsoft update service location”
Even after doing the procedure described. It still is set to the WSUS server’s URL. This is set by GPO…however if I logon to the server, and manually edit the policy, and set it to “disabled”………THEN BP actually shows it as Microsoft Update.
What I am doing wrong. Could someone please help me!
ThanksPS: Update location GPO is set up guys higher up than me, so I cannot change the GPO. However, if I can “temporarily” set the Windows update settings to look at the internet (Microsoft update) instead of those guys’ WSUS/SCCM server, I can use “Cluster aware updating” to manually update my Hyper-V cluster nodes. I was hoping BP could help in setting that setting.
You can temporarily directly modify the registry values that control the group policy setting. Group policy will automatically set these back to the group policy controlled values when group policy is refreshed, but this page shows you how you can use BatchPatch to temporarily directly modify the registry values.
