Good afternoon everyone,
We now use BigFix to patch our workstations. We used to use WSUS previously and looking to clean up the unnecessary registry keys on our images. I wanted to get feedback as to which WSUS registry keys (if any) are still needed on workstations to still get patched appropriately. I assume mostly the ones that have to do with the behavior post-updates on the client workstations such as norestart when client is logged in, restart if no one is logged on.
I made some cleanup and these are the keys that i think might still be needed. any feedback would be appreciated on whether i can safely remove any other keys or need to add any to ensure patches still install properly using BigFix. Thanks
Gianni
