Hello all

I have removed Auto Updates by AutoUpdate = Off in winnt.sif. I'd like to install Auto Updates on machines where it has been removed.

I've tried the Auto Updates download form the SUS website this won't install as it won't run on XP SP1.

Is there a way to get them back?

Cheers

do a regtweak?

;Disable Autoupdates
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000001

;Disable Autoupdates
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update]
"AUOptions"=dword:00000001
"AUState"=dword:00000007

this is to disable the autoupdate... but you have to change them to enable..

Unfortunately that will only disable or enable the the settings for it. When AutoUpdate=off in winnt.sif it actually isn't installed.

I need to install the component again.

ahhh i see.... sorry i dont know the solution, maybe other people do.....

No worries.

Thanks for trying anway.

make a text file beggining with [components] and AutoUpdate=On in second line.

run sysocmgr /i:%systemroot%\inf\sysoc.inf /u:%systemroot%\ocremove.txt

or

find sysoc.inf, remove hide on autoupdate line, run optional components wizzard and reinstall

I like to remove hide from all entries in sysoc.inf myself. As long as your odn't remove critical components in the Windows Components wizard it does no harm. Just replace ,hide, with ,,

Thanks for the info people!

Worked a treat.

Cheers
