This is fine in the lab, but if you have to start applying local policies to a large number of clients it's a pain! At the end of the day the SUS service is only running as a proxy from windowsupdate.miscrosoft.com -----Original Message----- From: Glenn Pearl [mailto:glennp () datasync com] Sent: 15 April 2004 17:50 To: Andrew Shore; 'Leon'; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: Windows SUS Question In my testing, I was able to use the policy file to apply the SUS configuration using Local Security Policy on an client system that had a different workgroup name than the SUS server system (ie: no Domain involved at all). Automatic updates worked without problem or error using this method. I would guess that the SUS client configuration could also be applied with a registry import. Regards, Glenn Pearl

Therefore, the patches are applied by the local service account. You set up an MS policy (policy file is supplied with SUS) which tells the machines where to get the update list from and when to apply. This does imply, of course that all machines are in a Domain and not a workgroup.

Lets say 20 servers are part of a work group; is their still a way to use SUS under the context of the local system account or something similar to be able to centrally deploy patches in a de-centralizied network environment. I have a workgroup that needs to have patches deployed and I would prefer to use something like SUS which is central as opposed to something like Hfnetcheck pro. Thanks in advance, Leon __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online by April 15th http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html
