I'm trying to setup WSUS to update client PCs on a domain and some on a workgroup.

The domain is easy to do with the Active Directory GPE (Group Policy Editor) but the workgroup is a little harder. I have the WinXP Pro SP2 PCs working fine by using the local GPE but Win 2K Pro is a different matter.

Does anyone know the registry entries needed or the tool I need to get the Windows 2000 Professional (with SP4) clients to update from the server I set up?

Microsoft are no use on this, they assume you are always using the latest OS or have all PCs in a huge forest of domains.

Cheers for any pointers

That was exactly what I wanted.
Had already used the registry settings on Windows XP but didn't realise you had to restart the PC on Windows 2000 :D

Cheers :t
