How to find the location of our WSUS server?
Can someone tell me where to look to locate where my pc running windows 7 pro is getting it's updates. We have a WSUS server but not sure of the location? I don't have access to the group policy update policy to see the WSUS address.
Should I check the update log files, use wusa.exe, windows update panel under update history, upstalled updates, etc, where?
Thanks

Bob,
You can look in the C:\windows\windowsupdate.log
And everytime the windows update agent service starts it will tell you in the log file witch WSUS servers are used.
This is an example:
2011-04-22 16:21:34:722 544 c04 Agent * WSUS server:
http://servername:port
2011-04-22 16:21:34:722 544 c04 Agent * WSUS status server:
http://servername:port
2011-04-22 16:21:34:722 544 c04 Agent * Target group: (Unassigned Computers)
2011-04-22 16:21:34:722 544 c04 Agent * Windows Update access disabled: No
Or you can you can look in the windows registery (but since you are a standart user is this a harder option. :) )
But here is some information about the registery locations:
