You are configuring a Windows XP computer for a client who travels frequently. The client often must connect to the Internet using a slow-speed connection. The client wants to ensure that the computer is updated with security updates in a timely manner, but he does not want to download updates when the computer is connected through a slow link.
What should you do?
1. On the Automatic Updates tab, select Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them.
2. On the Automatic Updates tab, select Notify me but don't automatically download or install them.
3. On the Automatic Updates tab, select Turn off Automatic Updates.
4. On the Automatic Updates tab, select Automatic (recommended).
Explanation : You should select Notify me but don't automatically download or install them. This configuration option will allow the user to decline the update before it is downloaded based on how critical the update is and the speed of the computer's connection.
You should not select Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them. Doing so will allow the user to selectively install the updates at a convenient time, but it will not prevent them from being downloaded when the computer is using to a slow connection.
You should not select Automatic. Doing so will not allow the user any control over the updates. They will be downloaded and installed automatically.
You should not select Turn off Automatic Updates. Doing so will cause the user to not be notified of security updates and will leave it up to the user to update the computer.

Operating Systems: Setting Users PC for Automatic Updates
You are installing Windows XP Professional on a user's computer. You want to ensure that the user receives all security updates in a timely manner. The user's computer is connected to the Internet.
What should you do?
1. Add a shortcut to the URL to the Windows Update Web page to the All Users Startup folder.
2. Add a shortcut to the URL to the Windows Update Web page to the user's Startup folder.
3. >>Use the System Control Panel utility to enable Automatic Updates.
4. Create a batch file that checks the Windows Update Web page and add it to Scheduled Tasks.
Explanation : Windows XP Professional supports Automatic Updates to allow users to keep their systems up to date with service packs and security updates. You can enable Automatic Updates through the System Control Panel utility.
Each user has a Startup folder located at C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. This folder contains shortcuts to programs that run when a specific user logs on. However, adding a shortcut to the Windows Update Web site Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to the user's Startup folder will not cause updates to be applied each time the user starts the computer.
Shortcuts to programs that should start when any user logs on should be added to the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder. However, adding a shortcut to the Windows Update Web site's URL to the All Users Startup folder will not cause updates to be applied each time the user starts the computer.
You should not create a batch file that checks the Windows Update Web page and add the batch file to Scheduled Tasks. However, you can configure Automatic Updates to run on a schedule by using the System Control Panel utility.

2. Connect to the Internet, run Start | All Programs | Windows Update and scan for updates.
3. >>Connect to the Internet, run Start | Windows Update and scan for updates.
