Hi Guys
1st post so sorry if it's vague or in the wrong forum but hoping you can help please. I am responsible for maintaining my companies gold image, having manually updating with Microsoft Windows & Office updates for some time I came across WSUS Offline. I created a share to host WSUS Offline, downloaded the selected updates etc all ok.
I manage the image which is a VM running on a VMWare host, when i need to update the image which is Windows 10 1809 and Office 2010 I connect to the share (Not a mapped drive) and run the updater from the client directory. I've been doing this for some time now and only recently have our network team contacted me to say that multiple devices are trying to access the VMWare host and in turn the VM device to get updates. Obviously I don't want this happening as it is killing the bandwidth and plus we use a 3rd party to patch our estate devices.
I've hunted high and low for info on the clients in our estate to see if there is a reg entry, scheduled task etc but to no avail, I need to stop this asap can you offer any advice as to how I can stop the devices from polling and trying to get access to the vm ?
Hope that's enough info
TIA
