Darin, if I understand you correctly, you can use the Windows Update GPs - you simply don't configure the "intranet Microsoft Update service location", as it defaults to Windows Update on the internet. From the explain text: "If the status is set to Disabled or Not Configured, and if Automatic Updates is not disabled by policy or user preference, the Automatic Updates client connects directly to the Windows Update site on the Internet." Just configure the settings you want and leave "intranet location" alone. Florian _____ Von: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Im Auftrag von Cruickshanks, Darin Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28. Januar 2009 10:47 An: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Betreff: [gptalk] Microsoft Update All, Does anyone know of a way to force, through group policy, Windows XP clients to use MICROSOFT update for automatic updates? I'm not really interested in WSUS as the automatic mechanism seems to work fine for us. What is everyone else doing?
