Can I turn off windows update/advance options/delivery optimization allow downloads from other pcs

Our system engineer is complaining about all our windows 10 and 11 pcs using update deliver optimization and allowing downloads from other pcs on the network.  I'm trying to figure out a way to disable that via Intune and I can't seem to come up with an answer.  I have update rings setup but that isn't a managed feature.  The default is to allow downloads from other pcs on my devices local network.  So far I'll have to touch all 1000 plus pcs to manually disable that.  Has anyone done this before so I don't have to reinvent the wheel?

    You can manage DO settings using a Device Configuration policy (Settings Catalog)
    Just search 'Delivery Optimization' and you will find a 'DO Download Mode' use Simple download mode with no peering. You can optionally configure a Windows firewall policy to block the 7680 port

    What about a script to disable optimization?

    # Set variables to indicate value and key to set
     Set-ItemProperty -Path "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DoSvc" -Name "Start" -Value "4.0"


    Has anyone tried that?
