Force Vista Home Edition to use WSUS update server..

Hi,

We have a few Windows Vista/XP Home edition computers which we would
like to have forced windows updates through our WSUS server. Which
options do we have?

I hoped to set a local gpo, but that cannot be done in Home editions afaik.

Can we set the WSUS server name and settings manually in registry on
Home Edition computers?

I know that Professional / Business editions are the correct match to
solve this problem, but this request is for a possible (and creative)
solution for Home Editions.

regards

jake

No. Not in the Home version
