How to remove pointer to old SUS server

Hi,
I transferred a group of XP workstations to a new AD (new LAN) from a
workgroup.
Workstations were configured to pick up updates from SUS server.
Configuration was done by importing a registry file.

How I can remove pointer to old SUS server?

Before I will deploy a new WSUS on Small Business Server I want to enable
automatic update from Microsoft site.

Thanks.
Michael.

Hi,

Delete the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\WindowsUpdate\
and then reboot the computer.

I want to precise...
1. By removing this key Microsoft update options will become active?
2. Can you recommend a script for removing this key from the regestry?
Thanks,
Michael.

It should be, as long as you have used a reg file to configure
the AU connection to the SUS server.

On one line:

%SystemRoot%\system32\reg.exe delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE
\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /f
