As I told Leon before, we use SUS on a non-domain win2k server to provide patches to 35 workstations, who are on a domain. Using either manual registry hacks or GPEDIT.msc to set the location of the SUS server gets around the use of domain policies. While you have to use GPEDIT.msc on each machine individually, it is more fool-proof than editing the registry manually. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Burton [mailto:cyberhiker99 () yahoo com] Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 9:05 PM To: Leon; security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Windows SUS Question I have used SUS, and I am thinking that it is not domain oriented. You could use the Registry settings that are in Deployment guide (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sus/susdeployment.mspx) in order to point the Servers to the SUS box. We did more than a few boxes that way. Also, I would make sure that all the servers don't reboot all at once. I attached a sample .reg that I renamed so that it passes through most virus filters. It has been some time since I looked at it but I think that these settings will reboot the clients automatically. Regards, Chris --- Leon <roastin () yahoo com> wrote:
Hi everyone, My question regarding SUS is dealing with security permissions. Lets say 20 servers are part of a work group; is their still a way to use SUS under the context of the local system account or something similar to be able to centrally deploy patches in a de-centralizied network environment. I have a workgroup that needs to have patches deployed and I would prefer to use something like SUS which is central as opposed to something like Hfnetcheck pro. Thanks in advance, Leon __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online by April 15th http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html
