Interpreting AUState Values
    Date - 07 Feb 2003
The Automatic Update client maintains its operational state in the following registry key:
   Key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\
   Value: AUState
 
AUState values
0Initial 24 hour timeout (the AU wizard does not run until 24 hours after it first detects an Internet connection)
1Waiting for user to run AU wizard
2Detect pending
3Download pending (waiting for user to accept pre-download prompt)
4Download in progress
5Install pending
6Install complete
7Disabled (Adoptions will also be set to a value of 0x1)
8Reboot pending (updates that require a reboot were installed but the reboot was declined - AU will not do anything until the reboot occurs and this value is cleared)
