WSUS without AD
I have couple a questions for those have configured WSUS w/o AD successfully before.
Have a Win2K3 server w/ WSUS stuff installed. I see the Updated Services Management Console and have approved updates and whatnot.
I am working in a non-AD environment where I have 4 Windows machines I have to configure to connect to this local WSUS server. Let's call the WSUS machine "wsus.local" and clients "client*".
Here is what I added to the registry on client1:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"WUServer"="http://wsus.local"
"WUStatusServer"="http://wsus.local"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
"AUOptions"=dword:00000002
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000001
"NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001
Once I did this, I see the tab "Automatic Updates" under System Properties grayed out. I guess it's working?
I ran Windows Updates on client1, successfully pulled, updated, and rebooted. However, I don't see any reference in c:\windows\windowsupdates.txt file referencing that it connected to my wsus.local machine.
So my two questions is:
1) How can I make wsus.local's Updates Services Management Console see the client* machines? Please see attachment.
2) How can I really tell the client* is connecting and downloading updates from wsus.local?
Sorry I am not a Windows sysadmin, just want to learn. Thank you for any food for thoughts.SysAdmin.xyz
Having severs with customer data on it without proper monitoring is like having one night stand without using protections - eventually, there will be an 'oh s**t!' moment.
