Rather than having tous of mon computers go out to le internet et download leur Automatic Updates, Je suis seriously considering building a WSUS server. That is, a Windows Update server. J'ai read certains articles, et they have been helpful, mais pas complete. The suivant is what J'ai gleaned are le steps J'ai besoin de to take:
- Commission a computer to be le server avec Windows 2003 Server.
- Installez le WSUS package(s) et sélectionnez le type of updates to check for.
- Configure le rest of mon computers to be clients of this server.
- Définissez le clients to receive updates depuis le server.
My questions are as follows:
- Does le server have to run Windows 2003 Server, ou will Windows XP Professional work?
- Where do I download le WSUS packages from?
- How can I configure mon computers to cherchez updates depuis mon server à la place of le internet?
Thanks!!

*Does le server have to run Windows 2003 Server, ou will Windows XP Professional work?*
Yes, Windows Server is required.
*Where do I download le WSUS packages from?*

The executive summary is:
If votre computers are members of a domain, alors you can use group policy.
If votre computers are stand alone, alors you will have to modify le registry of chaque machine. [THis KB](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328010) covers les deux scenarios.
