Windows Automatic Update service query
This is a very specific question actually and if anyone has any input
it would be very much appreciated. SO, on to the meat of it:
I need to enable manual Windows updates on multiple remote machines
however I can't turn on automatic updates as all files will need to be
vetted for compatibility issues first. The thing is the Windows Update
website refuses to work unless the Automatic Updates service is set to
Automatic. Setting it to Manual and having it running SHOULD let the
website load correctly..right? I can't for the life of me figure out
why it won't work this way and as I said, if anyone has any input that
would be very helpful

I don't know if this is a solution for you, but if all these machines
are in a Windows domain (or multiple ones), you could install a WSUS
(Windows Server Update Services), set up a domain policy for configuring
the update service (pointing it to the WSUS and so on), and then run
things from there. You can make your own choice which updates will be
permitted to be installed or only checked.
If no domains are available, there's still the option of running
gpedit.msc on each one to deploy the required settings.
