Hide Windows Update Warnings on RDP /RDS Server

Reading Add Comment

Problem: 

   Staff receive Windows Update message when logging onto the RDP server.  This problem confuses end users and causes unnecessary calls to help desk. 

Background: 

   Remote desktop servers receive regular updates on Patch Tuesday. However, this problem was accentuated after Microsoft changed their patching policy to expedite out-of-band patches. 

Solution: 

Create new GPO policy to hide Windows Update messages on the RDP server.
    GPO Setting Path:  
      User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update
    GPO Policy:   
      Remove access to use all Windows Update features 
    GPO Attribute:  
     Enabled: 0. Do not show notifications. 

Note:  

   This is a User Configuration setting -not a Computer Configuration.  Enable Loopback processing to ensure changes apply to all users that logon.  
    GPO Loopback Path:
      Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System/Group Policy\
    GPO Loopback Policy: 
     Configure user Group Policy loopback processing mode
    GPOLoopback Attribute:
     Enabled
