One thing the FAQ doesn't seem clear on. Does this command (proxycfg -p
proxy_ip_address:port_number) affect manually visiting WindowsUpdates
using the web-browser? Or is it only Automatic Updates? I would've
thought it was for Automatic Updates only.

I use a SUS server for AutoUpdates because of the proxy, but
occasionally want to visit WindowsUpdates. Would the proxycfg command
screw-up updates via our local SUS server in any way?
