Vista Home Premium and WSUS Bruce P. 10/27/2008 10:41:02 AM We have a few laptop users who's machines are running Vista Home Premium. "The why didn't you check with me first" issue excluded, here is my issue. A Patch broke an app a few days ago, vendor says "don't install KB.... until we update the app". We have a small AD and WSUS 2 available. Most of the environment is eiother XP Pro , or Vista Business. I have been e-mailing the Vista Home users which patches to install, I'd rather use WSUS for everybody. Trouble is "Home" doesn't have the registry settings I found on Technet to change. Can "Home" be made to talk to WSUS via registry edit or some other means? Upgrade is not an option until '09, if then... Thanks

They don't have them, because they need to be CREATED. So... CREATE the registry values!!! :-) > Can "Home" be made to talk to WSUS via registry edit or some other > means? Upgrade is not an option until '09, if then... IMPORT a REG file with the correct settings!!! 1. REG EXPORT HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate wsusclient.reg 2. Import the key: REG IMPORT wsusclient.reg -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCITP(x2), MCTS(x5), MCP(x7), MCBMSP Principal/CTO, Onsite Technology Solutions, Houston, Texas Microsoft MVP - Software Distribution (2005-2009) MS WSUS Website: http://www.microsoft.com/wsus My Websites: http://www.onsitechsolutions.com; http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com My MVP Profile: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Lawrence.Garvin
