    Well I have been in contact with NComputing, I have not received much from them, unfortunately. I think my best bet is to start troubleshooting myself.

    I believe the issue to be with the secondary accounts still having the “ability” to look for updates despite the fact I have disabled the options from the GPO. I am going to begin by removing the GPO restrictions and getting the machine back to where the main user account (also administrative account) so that I can apply updates again.

    I have been in contact with DeepFreeze. They have confirmed that it is not a fault of deepfreeze. There are files that have rights to be changed for security purposes and they have recommended I use a batch file method of installing Windows Updates to the machines during a thaw period that I have specified.

    I have already began tackling the process of allowing the Novell user that is required to log in via the command line and a batch file. This has been successful in mounting drives to the computer without authentication and I can install drivers, I assume this should suffice with logging into the computer as well.

    However I have NEVER updated windows from the command line and I am looking for some resources or assistance in locating the commands I need to send to the computer in order for it to begin looking for and downloading updates.

    Ultimately we have a WSUS server and I would like to use that but I would first like to get the machines logging in and attempting to update before supplying my WSUS server, because this is the least of my worries.

      Check this link for command line options on wuauclt.exe. Never did a commn line check for updates, but I’m sure there is a way.

        Yeah same here, never done it, but I KNOW there are ways to do it, just trying to get my ducks in a row so I can try 🙂

        Thanks for the suggestion I will see what I can come up with!

            These are the easiest of the commands, you can get way more complex.

              How would I tell it my WSUS server with a command and update from there? Are you familiar with that of the top of your head 😛

              I will set up some batch files on my test machine to see how things go tonight.

              I appreciate your help!

                You wouldn’t need to.

                Through group policy, you tell it where to look for updates. When you wuauclt it automatically looks on the wsus server.

                  Awesome sounds good, sounds like I need to add something else to my image before next year. I will let you know how it goes!
