New BigFix Admin Question - WUAUSERV

(imported topic written by arnoldgsteve91)

Why isn’t there a canned fixlet or task to stop and disable the standard Windows Update client service (WUAUSERV)?

I am pretty sure I can write a fixlet to do it manually using HKLM/CurrentControlSet reghacks and SC command line util, but it seems natural that if I bothered with buying, installing and configuring BigFix, I would want to get Windows Update out of the environment ASAP.

Does anyone run both? If so, why?

Thanks!
