I have to point out that this is not correct.  An SUS server provides the
update catalog and patches via anonymous HTTP connections.   The windows
update client is configured to use an SUS server by setting registry
entries. (can be a simple .reg file, a script, etc.)  We have a large number
of non-domain based clients updating from our servers.
