Windows Update Automatically download patches and install

We have found that some of our servers are automatically downloading patches from Internet using Windows Update and installing. This is not how our environment is configured to be. Is there a way to know what all servers in environment are configured to
download and install patches automatically from Windows Update using a script may be.
Thanks
Vish
 

Hi Vish,
Is there a way to know what all servers in environment are configured to download and install patches automatically from Windows Update
We will need to open Control Panel and go to Windows Update to see if the machine is set to automatically install updates. Here is a screenshot below:
Here is a scripting forum below:

    Hi conor1221!
    You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • Can't get Windows update to download updates for other MS products

    Hi,
    Installed W7 Home Premium on a single system and for one or another reason I cannot get Windows Update to download updates for other Microsoft products. MS Office University 365, MS Visual Studio Pro 2013 and Microsoft Expression are also installed on this
    system.
    I click on Find Out More in the Windows Update page and IE 11 opens. It first goes to http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/vistadefault.aspx?ln=en-au and then redirects to http://www.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/thanks.aspx?ln=en&&thankspage=5
    Here is a picture of the page:
    As you can see there is no change settings button as described at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/change-windows-update-installation-notification#1TC=windows-7 .There is no way I can change settings so updates for other MS products are also downloaded.
    Firefox is my default browser; even if I load the link in Firefox I get the same result.
    Thanks,
    Imran

    Don't use a web browser to do that. Since Vista, WindowsUpdates are no longer performed in a web browser, it's in Control Panel. (that's why the
    www.update.microsoft.com web page is telling you to check Start Menu")
    The Change Settings button, appears in the Windows Update applet in Control Panel.
    Click "Start", and in the search box, type in: Windows Update. Or, look on Start Menu. Or go to Control Panel/System&Security/WindowsUpdate.

  • Windows version automatically downloaded on Mac. What do I do????

    Please Help!
    I downloaded Photoshop Elements from a 3rd party:ThinkEdu.com. The option to select operational device never appeared so the Windows version automatically downloaded on my Mac. Of course it doesn't work. Their support center sent me to adobe for help. I don't know what to do!

    You are not addressing Adobe here.  These are user forums.
    You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.
    So, drop the attitude until you do contact Adobe directly.
    To make matters worse, you are in the wrong forum.  We don't do "Elements" here in the Photoshop proper forum.
    To contact Adobe:
    Click on the link below, and after that click on "Still need Help? Contact us."
    Then on the next page, click Chat
    There is also a phone option.

    You'll find the Elements forum here:

  • I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again

    I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to..  When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists."  It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.

    You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
    Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
    What specific Window operating system are you using?
    Let us go through the usual drill...
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
    Local Disk C
    Program Files (x86)
    Common Files
    Adobe
    and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
    from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
    5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
    computer as Premiere Elements 13?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Downloaded Firefox and installed...but nothing

    Downloaded Firefox and installed but when I type an address example : "facebook.com"....press enter.....NOTHING...NOTHING at all.....I did uninstall and then reinstall and still nothing...can you please share your wisdom...Thank you in advance for your help.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    You wasted your money.  OS X only runs on Apple hardware, so stop trying.  It's been the case since 2006 so this should come as no surprise to you.

    None if these crash reports seem to have been send.
    Do you have crash reports with a "bp-" prefix that were submitted and that show a crashing thread?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>Safe mode</u>:

    You can force quit by holding the power button down for extended period.
    During boot up hold down the Option key and choose your Macintosh HD OSX.
    In >System Preferences> Startup Disk>choose your internal OSX System as Default.
