Does anyone know what would happen if I set the AUOptions
to a 0 or 1? From our tests, a 0 means AU is not set and a
1 means AU is just on and would like to verify these
settings. Mainly we are looking at registry key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Win dowsUpdat
e\Auto Update\AUOptions

and trying to determine what AU is doing.

AUOptions:
0 = AU not configured
1 = AU Disabled
2 = AU Notify prior to download
3 = AU Download Automatically and Notify Prior to Install
4 = AU Download Automatically and Install at Set Scheduled time.
