Disabling Windows Update
I'd like to disable Windows Update on all my clients because I am managing it through a different program. When I check group policy I don't see the option to never check for updates, even though you have that option locally on the Windows 7 desktops. I was going to setup a fake intranet entry but I feel there should be an easier way.

I don't believe this will fix it, it will disable changing the options, so if the workstations are setup to already check it will still be in place
No it will stop the Machine checking the Windows Update servers for any updates. We have this in place in our environment as we also have a 3rd party utility which manages our Windows and application updates.
