Requirement

It would be nice to have it where you can schedule the AU client to download updates at a specifc time instead of the "every so many hours" option currently available via group/local policy. This would enable users to conserve bandwidth during peak times.

At present there is no facility for the AU client to download at a specific time. However, to conserve bandwidth, you can try using the BITS policy to make effect this. The Automatic Update client downloads all updates using BITS (Background Intelligent Tansfer Service), which uses your spare network bandwidth only to download updates. So BITS attempts to minimse badwidth usage anyway. You can also use the policy "Maximum network bandwith that BITS uses" in "Administrative Templates"-->"Network"-->"Background Intelligent Transfer Service". Set it to a small number during work time, effectively means you download only at non-work hour.
