SUS Mass Client Reconfiguration

[Shih]

We have about 300 Windows 2000 clients and up to now have done windows
updates the old way... one PC at a time. I recently got a SUS server up and
running and need to know how to remotely reconfigure the clients to get
updates from the SUS server. We are running a Windows NT 4 domain
(still...)

You need to find and export the registry key that holds the automatic
updating for SUS - then you could deploy it in your login script like this:

if %OS%!==Windows_NT! GOTO UpdateSUS
Goto BEGIN

:UpdateSUS
regedit.exe /s \\bdcserver\netlogon\susregkey.reg

:BEGIN
*rest of script would go here*

Let me know how it goes...
