Registry Question

I am trying to configure a Windows XP computer in a non-domain environment to
get updates from a SUS server. I have the SUS server configured. The
instructions from Microsoft says to add registry keys to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\WindowsUpdate\. I have
all of the proper keys that I want configured that they recommend.

However, I also see a key with existing Automatic Update settings at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate.

I am not getting updates from the SUS Server. Any recommendations on how to
properly configure registry keys? Do I need to modify the keys at
\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\...?

Hi,

No, you do not need to modify/add any registry value under
\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\...


Fyi, there is a separate newsgroup for SUS:

microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...wareupdatesvcs

URL to the group softwareupdatesvcs for those who uses the Web
interface to access the newsgroups:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...wareupdatesvcs


A Web site about SUS with a FAQ and a SUS forum:
