GPO for controlling Automatic Update Policies - Ignored
rj07thomas Hey no worries any hint is welcome at present!
To verify the correct GPOs are being applied I've been using gpresult with the html output, which definitely shows the Update policy being applied.To double check this, via mmc I also used RSoP to determine what policies are being applied, and the windows update ones should definitely be being applied. I got my manager to alter the GPO for Windows Update(s) to Enforced and this has made 0 difference.
I even (because this is happening both on this secondary network and our primary DC with Win10 PC's) tried to apply the setting at a local group policy, and the Windows Update screen on my Win 10 Machine did not budge and basically ignored whatever I set. I've even validated that the policies are being shown in the Windows Update App and within the Registry for the relevant policies.
As stated previously, this is only happening post recent updates.apologiesmhopper29 - made the error of not expanding out your question!
This is hardly a fix by any stretch of the imagination, but have you tried running updates via PowerShell to see if that works (yes - I run the actual installation & scheduling of WSUS updates via PowerShell, as GPO just isn't flexible enough imho)
rj07thomas haha indeed it was written rather in a hurry ... and could you expand on what your proposing as an option?
