What do you mean by "manually launch Windows Update" ? Windows Update / Microsoft Update is just a website. On Vista/Win7, if you try to go there, you are redirected to open up the internal Windows Update applet (for lack of a better term), whether or not you have WSUS installed.
Previous versions don't offer that option. *ASB *(Find me online via About.Me <http://about.me/Andrew.S.Baker/bio>) *Exploiting Technology for Business Advantage... * On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 4:57 PM, Bob Hartung <[email protected]> wrote: > I've setup a WSUS Server 3.0 running on Windows 2008.
