I haven’t been successful in that, even when learning about sconfig, and creating a Microsoft support case with them. For a few years now, I have been trying to get Windows Server 2016 to fully automatically install Windows Updates, like almost all previous versions of Windows have done. Setting the Scheduled Install Day to Tuesday: Specific day of the week where Sunday =1 and Saturday = 7 This can be done using the ScheduledInstallDay and ScheduledInstallTime keys in the registry. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsInstaller 'Logging'-'Debug'-HKEYLOCALMACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindowsUpdateTrace In Notepad, click Save As on the File menu. When you set the update settings to “Automatically download and schedule installation” it could be that you also want to decide yourself which day/time it should update. More info on managing update polices with GPO’s here: You can configure the same range of numbers here. The settings are located under ‘Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update’. You can always use the trusted GPO’s in an Active Directory domain environment. Open a command prompt with administrative permissions and run SCONFIG from there. M – Never check for updates, trigger manually.
In the sconfig prompt you can select options ‘5’ to enter the update settings configuration and then choose:Ī – Automatically scan, download and install updates. Sconfig is basically a simple batch script, which is sufficient for configuration tasks such as update settings. $WUSettings = ( New-Object -com '' ).Settings
