GPO usage - Blocking XP SP2

[stunpals]

I have added the .adm template from the below MS article to a new GPO on my computers OU on the "Computer Cofiguration->Admin Templates". Then I went to the setting the "Windows Update->Do not allow SP@...". How do I confirm it is getting out to my computers.

Hey, well i am in the same boat, but i am running windows 2000 server but thought i would reply anyway

i am going to try these tools out

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/gpotool-o.asp

"This command-line tool allows you to check the health of the Group Policy objects on domain controllers."

http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/gpresult-o.asp

"This command-line tool displays information about the result Group Policy has had on the current computer and logged-on user."

Other then that what i would do is log onto a clients computer and try it my self (downloading sp2 through WU to see if the GPO blocks it)
