WSUS 2.0 Karl Schmidt 6/21/2007 8:54:03 PM Is there any setting, either a reg-hack or in a GPO, that will allow us to set an alternate Microsoft update service location? We are looking to set our mobile computers to look to our internal WSUS server for patches regularly, and if it can't find the server, default out to Microsoft's update site. Some of the antivirus products work this way so mobile users can get signature updates even if they can not connect to a corporate signature server. Any solution would be helpful. Thanks! -Karl

Not in WSUS 2.0, and not with Win2000/WinXP/Win2003 client systems. There is a facility to support this on Vista systems using WSUS 3.0, however. -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....
