[2K3] WSUS in mixed environment

I m planning to deploy a WSUS server in mixed environment, which is Active Directory and some workgroup machines.

For the machines joined to AD, I can simply use group policy that points to the WSUS for updates. This is no problem for me.

However, with workgroup machines, I have to modify the local gpo on each of the workgroup machines. This is kind of painful for me.

I have heard of a computer group in WSUS. Can I use computer group in WSUS while using domain GPO?

Thank you

Re: [2K3] WSUS in mixed environment

If you have admin access to the computers in question, open up an MMC console on your main workstation or server, add a Group Policy snap-in and then click Browse and select the machine you want to change. You should be able to set policies and do pretty much anything as though you're actually there.

 GPO are just registry settings. So if you find the key that is being modified you can export it to a .reg file which will give you a 3-click install.

Luckily, Microsoft has documented the registry keys: »technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr···449.aspx
