Windows 10: Creating new W10 image for company + auto update Java?

Hello all,

Together with a colleague of mine we are working on a new Windows 10 image to use as a standard on our desktop machines.

Apart from looking for Windows 10 guides for fresh installations such as these i was wondering if there are any other crucial tips out there?
Like, i could disable telemetry and statistics options using the registry editor. But i was also considering O&O Shutup10 to do so. Thing is, shouldn't we reapply these settings after every large 'windows update' ?
Or is it good practice to make this registry value a GPO to solve this?

Also, we are planning to setup a new WSUS server. Could this also be used to automatically and silently install Java updates so end-users are no longer plagued by those? Or is there an easier solution?
Are there people out there who use WSUS to update a bunch of other software? (stuff like notepad++, foxit reader etc.).

:)

 

Java auto update problem


I do not have Java installed in my computer.
I googled this one for you. Hope it helps a little.

The following is an excerpt from Java own publication :

Change Automatic Update Settings

1. Find and launch the Java Control Panel
2. Click the Update tab to access the settings.
3. To enable Java Update to automatically check for updates, select the Check for Updates Automatically check box.
   To disable Java Update, deselect the Check for Updates Automatically check box.
   
   
   
   

 

Java auto update problem


Hi there.
I have a user who needs Java 7 to run a java program to do some work in our organization. The Java 8 updates from SCCM/config mgr to her computer is been blocked because it messes with the current setup.

I have trouble diabling the java 7 update function. The best way is to set the user up as a local admin and disable it from within control panel in Win 10. Strange thing. I disable the java update removing the tick in the box, click apply and OK. Then go back to check and it is still ticked off like it is still not disabled.

I need a way to disable java updates completely so the users Java program can run in IE without any of the problems with the auto updater.

Also Internet Explorer comes up with warnings. Like this java is old, please update. I need to remove them so the user can do her work.

We use Win 10, Office 13 and F-secure antivirus.

Any suggestions?

 

Xubuntu Server flash/java jre update script

Hey guys,

I have a request to make.

I am not a coder, I just love using linux.

The company I work for just put xubuntu machines in the break room. ^_^
the thing is, they are PXE booting them off of a Live CD image.
What I need is a script that can be run server wide that will auto update flash and java jre.
Otherwise the admin will be bogged down manually updating the machines.
I will be working on rolling a remix with the Install Xubuntu script removed from the desktop and Firefox placed on the Desktop.


Thanks for the help!!

The IT guys are still shaky on the Linux side of things. They took a step off the roof on this as they have to make this work so that the Management is happy. SO I am doing my best to assist them.
