Very odd. Windows autoupdate has turned itself on. by AndyA2004-07-14 09:19:10
  it's done by the updates. by McNutcase2004-07-14 09:22:02
    Hmm doesn't look like that's it. by AndyA 2004-07-14 09:40:27
All the options to turn it off are greyed out.

It almost looks like the IS department have decided to force it on.
Makes sense I suppose but given that w2k-sp3 caused my system to bluescreen on startup it would be nice to have some say in what gets installed.

I don't mind if they nag me about updates but to force development systems to update by a fixed time seems like a bad move to me.
