Windows Update Services

[LispWarez]

is there any way one can automatically fill in the setting for windows update server? you can manually do it in group policy editor but i want mine to be setup when i install windows so i dont have to change it each time i install.

If you not sure what im talking about then look @ "Computer Configuration\Adminitrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update" in gpedit.msc

You can use a REG file to do it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"WUServer"="http://<SUS Server>"
"WUStatusServer"="http://<SUS Server>"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001
"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
"AUOptions"=dword:00000004
"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000
"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000004
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000001
"RescheduleWaitTime"=dword:00000005

You'll have to match up the options to those listed in the GPO, I put this together too long ago to remember. If you leav the WUServer blank I believe it will default to Microsoft's site.
