Just a front end for the registry.

 

I used to run this script on my home PC's

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\windows\WindowsUpdate]
"WUServer"="http://VM-WSUS-01:80"
"WUStatusServer"="http://VM-WSUS-01:80"
"TargetGroupEnabled"=dword:00000001
"TargetGroup"="Unassigned Computers"
