I do not know if this is the right forum, but if it isn't please let me know. Basically, in a nutshell, here is what I am trying to do. I am running a script to check a list of servers and see what the status of their Automatic Updates is. I see a registry key (HKLM\Software\System\Policies\Microsoft) that I read is where the keys will be for Automatic Updates (if you create them). I need to know if there is a registry key that holds the Automatic Updates settings so I can run WMI against that (or those) keys and get the status of Automatic Updates. I.E. I want to run my script and enumerate whether that server has Automatic Updates set to Automatic, Notify, Disabled or whatever. Is this possible using VBS and WMI, or any interface for that matter? I do not operate in an Active Directory environment. Thanks if you can help.
