Re: does WSUS require active directory in this scenario?

Hello James,

You can run WSUS also as workgroup server and point only the clients to the server for downloading. We do it that way. All WSUS policies for the machines comes with separate GPO in the domain.

Best regards

Hello,

I intend to setup a WSUS infrastructure where there is one central
WSUS server where I approve updates and several other WSUS servers at
other locations that synchronize with this central WSUS server...
basically central administration

Is active directory required to do this with WSUS? I'm refering to
using latest version of WSUS on servers that are all running server
2008
