Disabling the "Windows Server Post-Setup Security Updates" Screen
I am trying to completely disable the "Windows Server Post-Setup Security Updates" Screen during my Windows 2003 R2 w/ SP2 operating system deployment via System Center Configuration Manager.
I followed the advice from the post at https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/25974353/Remove-Windows-Server-Post-setup-Security-updates-screen.html?anchorAnswerId=36536497#a36536497
However the advice listed did not work.
I ran the following command during my os deployment and the registry key was indeed properly inserted.
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Wi
However, when the OS deployment was finished, I could not remotely access the server, so I figured the "Windows Server Post-Setup Security Updates" nag screen was up and all communication to the server was still blocked due to that fact.
I was correct with my assumption because when I logged into the freshly imaged server, the "Windows Server Post-Setup Security Updates" nag screen was up, even though the registry key specified at http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/cc757061%28WS.10%29.aspx was present and set correctly.
I need to run some kind of script during operating system deployment that will prevent this "Windows Server Post-Setup Security Updates" nag screen from ever functioning.
Anyone have any idea of what the real fix is for this?

I already did that. It doesn't work as described in detail in my posting above.

DontLaunchSecurityOOBE (DWORD) in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows \Current Version \ServerOOBE \SecurityOOBE
This key does not exist by default.
The key can exist or not exist. If the key exists, Post-Setup Security Updates does not display. The numerical value of this setting is irrelevant.
