I was recently configuring a WSUS server. However I am not sure if I've set up correctly (WSUS isn't an everyday tool at the place where I work).
I've been wondering, Is there a command (or a tool) in Windows 7 that can be executed on a client machine and will verify the location from where the client is pulling the updates?
UPDATE:
It seems that the WSUS is working. The GPO is showing the clients as Kyle Brandt suggested.
However I just want to verify one more thing. Here's more info on the GPO i've created in order to distribute the updates.
Corect me if I'm wrong, I am not sure about `Target group name for this computer` option. Does it want as a value of the names of the **AD Groups** or the names of the **WSUS groups**? I wasn't sure so I include both of them - from the image you can see that I have put inside the relevant AD Groups and WSUS `Unssigned Computers` group
Comment verify if Windows Mise à jour location is properly configured from WSUS?
Re: Comment verify if Windows Mise à jour location is properly configured from WSUS?
If you're using Group Policy to configure your updates, you can query the registry for the Target Group and WSUS server values:
```
C:\> REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate"
WUServer REG_SZ http://fcsd-sccm
WUStatusServer REG_SZ http://fcsd-sccm
TargetGroupEnabled REG_DWORD 0x1
TargetGroup REG_SZ Servers
```
Or just get the `WUServer` value alone:
```
C:> REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "WUServer"
WUServer REG_SZ http://fcsd-sccm
```
If the `WUServer` value is not present, you're connecting to Microsoft.
The Powershell equivalent:
```
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
```
```
C:\> REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate"
WUServer REG_SZ http://fcsd-sccm
WUStatusServer REG_SZ http://fcsd-sccm
TargetGroupEnabled REG_DWORD 0x1
TargetGroup REG_SZ Servers
```
Or just get the `WUServer` value alone:
```
C:> REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "WUServer"
WUServer REG_SZ http://fcsd-sccm
```
