Why? It talks TCP/IP.

How's it find the WSUS server again?


Key Name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

Value 0
  Name:            WUServer
  Type:            REG_SZ
  Data:            http://secret.server:8530

Value 1
  Name:            WUStatusServer
  Type:            REG_SZ
  Data:            http://secret.server:8530


Works for me at $dayjob without AD and I don't need to play with weird solutions. (Disclaimer: I am not a windows expert, it's my weak point actually, so I have no idea if this is portable, I'm just saying it uses standard TCP/IP to talk to WSUS.)
