Second being that you need to manually keep it up to date. WSUS keeps it up to date on it's own.

I hope someone has an idea on this one: I want to use our internal WSUS as a patch server for PC's that we repair or sell, but then want to make the machine no longer use the WSUS server when they are delivered back to the customer.

Re: [H] WSUS in a repair shop environment
I only Googled this... (Never used it.) Q.Is WSUS free? A. Yes. Windows Server Update Services is free and is available to download at no cost. Each managed client requires a Windows Server CAL. To download the software, see the Download WSUS page. That might be a deal killer... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/wsus/bb466205.aspx Rick Glazier From: Christopher Fisk I hope someone has an idea on this one: I want to use our internal WSUS as a patch server for PC's that we repair or sell, but then want to make the machine no longer use the WSUS server when they are delivered back to the customer.
