AutoUpdateCfg_Help="Specifies whether this computer will receive security updates and other important downloads through the Windows automatic updating service.\n\nThis setting lets you specify if automatic updates are enabled on this computer. If the service is enabled, you must select one of the three options in the Group Policy Setting:\n\n2 = Notify before downloading any updates and notify again before installing them\n\nWhen Windows finds updates that apply to this computer, an icon appears in the status area with a message that updates are ready to be downloaded. Clicking the icon or message provides the option to select the specific updates to download. Windows then downloads the selected updates in the background. When the download is complete, the icon appears in the status area again, with notification that the updates are ready to be installed. Clicking the icon or message provides the option to select which updates to install.\n\n3 = (Default setting) Download the updates automatically and notify when they are ready to be installed\n\nWindows finds updates that apply to your computer and downloads these updates in the background (the user is not notified or interrupted during this process). When the download is complete, the icon appears in the status area, with notification that the updates are ready to be installed. Clicking the icon or message provides the option to select which updates to install.\n\n4 = Automatically download updates and install them on the schedule specified below\n\nSpecify the schedule using the options in the Group Policy Setting. If no schedule is specified, the default schedule for all installations will be everyday at 3:00 AM. If any of the updates require a restart to complete the installation, Windows will restart the computer automatically. (If a user is logged on to the computer when Windows is ready to restart, the user will be notified and given the option to delay the restart.)\n\nTo use this setting, click Enabled, and then select one of the options (2, 3, or 4). If you select 4, you can set a recurring schedule (if no schedule is specified, all installations will occur everyday at 3:00 AM). \n\nIf the status is set to Enabled, Windows recognizes when this computer is online and uses its Internet connection to search the Windows Update Web site for updates that apply to this computer.\n\nIf the status is set to Disabled, any updates that are available on the Windows Update Web site must be downloaded and installed manually by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com."\n\nIf the status is set to Not Configured, use of Automatic Updates is not specified at the Group Policy level. However, an administrator can still configure Automatic Updates through Control Panel.

CorpWuURL_Help="Specifies an intranet server to host updates from the Microsoft Update Web sites. You can then use this update service to automatically update computers on your network. \n\nThis setting lets you specify a server on your network to function as an internal update service. The Automatic Updates client will search this service for updates that apply to the computers on your network. \n\nTo use this setting, you must set two servername values: the server from which the Automatic Updates client detects and downloads updates, and the server to which updated workstations upload statistics. You can set both values to be the same server. \n\nIf the status is set to Enabled, the Automatic Updates client connects to the specified intranet Microsoft update service, instead of Windows Update, to search for and download updates. Enabling this setting means that end users in your organization don't have to go through a firewall to get updates, and it gives you the opportunity to test updates before deploying them. \n\nIf the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, and if Automatic Updates is not disabled by policy or user preference, the Automatic Updates client connects directly to the Windows Update site on the Internet. \n\nNote: If the "Configure Automatic Updates" policy is disabled, then this policy has no effect."
