Question : Windows Update Group Policy not deleting from Win2008 Server

We have a windows 2003 domain controller and group policy configured.  I disabled a windows update related GPO that was attached to the OU container of a Windows 2008R2 Antivirus server.  There are now no policies being enforced that relate to Windows update on the antivirus server.  This is a fresh install of 2008R2, and I'm attempting to run windows updates manually before I load the antivirus services onto it.

GPRESULT confirms that no oddball policies are slipping through, only the Default Domain Policy which does not mention Windows Update.

Even after a GPUPDATE /FORCE and a reboot, the Windows Update settings are still unavailable, as if the original GPO was still being applied.

What am I missing?

Answer : Windows Update Group Policy not deleting from Win2008 Server

If you enable some policy - it sets values in registry. If you disable this policy - nobody "restores" registry values and they still exist!
Enable policy (or create a new one) and set your configuration to desired value. Then you can disable policy if you like.
