Microsoft Wsus Server Address
I'm in a corporate Windows environment, which has deployed its own WSUS server. The thing is, it seems to hardly ever be updated.
To enable WSUS through a domain GPO. In the Windows Update details pane, double-click Specify intranet Microsoft update service location. Click Enabled, and then, server in the Set the intranet update service for detecting updates and Set the intranet statistics server text boxes, type the same URL of the WSUS server. Aug 25, 2009 Windows Server Update Services 3.0 SP2. Support for the BranchCache feature in Windows Server 2008 R2. Support for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 clients. Windows Update Agent (WUA) offers a collection of performance enhancements, user experience improvements, and bug fixes software updates.
You can contact directly via mail a WSUS specialist that may have current IP addresses - jchornbe (a)microsoft dot com or at chip.hornbeck (a) outlook dot com. Or at least he will redirect you to another WSUS specialist. Ports are standard ones 80 for http and 443 for https. Your task is not very uncommon. How to check for the WSUS server settings and GPOs on ConfMgr clients. In order to check the WSUs server that the clients are contacting and also check for any GPOs affecting those clients, you will need to check the following: - Rsop.msc on the client. Check the Computer Configuration Administrative Templates Windows Components.
This means I don't get the latest updates for months. It's a worry for security, and inconvenient for other MS products.
I know how to edit the WUServer and WUStatusServer values in the registry, however what should the values be if I want to use the default Microsoft servers?

You should simply delete these registry keys if you want to revert to the default Microsoft update servers.
devicenulldevicenullChanging those settings won't do much for you. The group policy which sets those values will overwrite any changes which you make.
Your IT staff probably only pushes out updates once they have been tested to ensure that they do not break any applications which are installed. If your security department has issue which this, then they should bring it up with the IT Admin group. Going around the IT admin group isn't going to to do anything but upset them.
mrdennymrdennyMy suggestion would be to bring your concerns to the group or individual responsible for the WSUS server. They probably have a policy/procedure for approving updates.
