Now that you have enabled the Automatic Updates service, you might be concerned that your clients will start to automatically download and install Windows Updates. To prevent this from happening you need to set the following Group Policy setting:
Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Update, Configure Automatic Updates = Disabled.
Setting the Configure Automatic Updates will disable automatic downloads and still allow you to download the updates from the Microsoft Updates web site.
