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. : I agree that is is a more foolproof way of handling it but, when you are in our situation 800+ computers it is not that simple to touch each individual workstation to setup GPEDIT.msc. So we are looking at ways to automate it using a batch file or registry import. We considered using Vbscript however, someone sent me /suggested a .reg file that I am testing on different OSes that should work beautifully.
