SUS clients setup..

[Thomas]

Hi,

I just installed a SUS server and everything is running fine. Now I need to
configure the SUS clients which are Win2000 Pro machines. I read the SUS
deployment guide from MS site and they said I need to edit the registry and
force the clients to point to the SUS server. There's a part where I need
to add some registry key settings into the following locations:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate



The problem is that these keys don't exist in the registry of the Win2000
Pro machines when I looked for them. Do I need to create them manually?
Has anyone done this?



Note: I'm not using Win2000 Active Directory group Policy to configure the
client to work with the SUS server. I just want to make them work without
using AD first.



TIA



Tom

Oh, the Clients are all Win2000 Pro w/ SP4

I believe you have to create the keys manually. You
should test this on a non-production system first.

no dear U can do this by downlaod the updated Polices file from microsoft
site and apply computer policy on the Network Usign GPO to update clients.

But not, as in this case, if you are not using AD with GPO.
