Hide Windows Update Warnings on RDP /RDS Server

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:
