Configuring clients
The final step in the process is to point your servers and workstations to the WSUS server you've
just configured.
- Begin by opening the Group Policy Editor and navigating through your organization's group policy to
Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Update.
- Double click on Configure Automatic Updates to view the Automatic Update properties sheet.
- Select the Enable option. Also, make sure the download and install options and the date and time
options are to your liking. Then click OK to continue.
- Double click the Specify Intranet Microsoft Update Service Location option.
- When the properties sheet appears, select the Enabled option and then enter the URL for your WSUS
Server. Assuming that you used the default Web site option during installation, the URL will be
http://your server name/. Enter the same URL in the Set Intranet Statistics Server field.
