Hi Guys
I've got an interesting one here. Been asked how to reset the WSUS policies on a machine that's in a Small Business Server 2008 domain.
Basically the user is never in the network where the SBS server is. If the user is an admin on the box is there some way we can reset the WSUS policies so that the machine will download and install the updates directly from MS rather than requiring a connection to the WSUS server?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

| Couldn't you just set
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\UseWUServer to 0
(zero)?

You are correct on this. The GPO will overwrite the changes.
What I would do is to put that server on its own OU and block inheritance. Then create a GPO just for that OU with automatic updates enable.
I hope that helps.

| I'm assuming that a machine that's never in contact with a wsus server wont
refresh the policy either.
If the policy isn't updated, you don't run gpupdate /force or have the
setting enabled to always apply all policies then no, the GPO will not
override.
