Hi,
You can use a WSUS server even if you don't have Active Directory. You
just need to set some registry values on the clients, using e.g. a
registry file or a script.
To obtain the correct registry values to deploy:
I suggest you use gpedit.msc on a WinXP SP2 computer to configure the
Automatic Updates settings policy, and after having done that, you can
export the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\WindowsUpdate
(including the sub-key named AU) to a registry file, or use some
other method to deploy those setting to your clients).
Those registry values are also documented in the WSUS deployment
guide:

And a fyi:
Please post WSUS related issues to the newsgroup dedicated to WSUS:
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services
(the microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs newsgroup is for SUS)
WebNews link to the WSUS newsgroup:
