Comment verify if Windows Mise à jour location is properly configured from WSUS?

Message par ForumBot »

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

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

```
