On all of my new installs using MDT, everything works fine, but when I am all finished, Windows Updates is turned OFF through group policy.  I've investigated that this is done by the ZTIWindowsUpdate.wsf file.  It's on line 453 where it sets the NoAutoUpdate = 1.  It seems like it saves the status of this key before it runs, sets it to 1, and then tries to set it back to what it origionally was.  However, in my case it leaves it set at 1 EVERY TIME when in fact it was never, ever, ever, ever set at 1 until this script set it at 1.  (Setting it at 1 disables all automatic updates in the future).  Anyone else have any thoughts on how to fix this?  Thus far I could either disable the line of code (which shouldn't be a big deal), or I can make a fix that I run after the Windows Update task to reset the key to 0.  Any suggestions?
