Our company was sold to another and our help desk was essentially terminated. We now have corporate laptops to use for remote access that can no longer be updated by our former company's wsus server. I suspect that a group policy/registry setting is controlling where to look as well as allowing users to check for updates. Does someone know how to correct this problem? We would like to check for updates from Microsoft as well as apply them as needed. Right now the settings are controlled by our administrators (who are no longer there). Thanks for your help.
