When this policy is enabled, devices will receive Windows updates for the classes listed from the specified update source: either Windows Update or Windows Server Update Service. Note: To receive any updates from the Windows Server Update Service you must have properly configured an intranet Microsoft update service location via the “Specify intranet Microsoft update service location” policy. If this policy is not configured or is disabled, the device will continue to detect updates per your other policy configurations. Note: If you are using “Do not allow deferral policies to cause scans against Windows Update” currently to ensure devices only scan against your specified server, we recommend configuring this policy instead or in addition to such.
