As long as the client on the PC is healthy (it can receive policy from its MP), you don't need to configure it. As mentioned before, the SCCM client will configure the WSUS location in Windows Update using local policy. That being said, if there is a group policy object that changes the WSUS server location, then updates through SCCM may not work as intended. GPOs overwrite local policies and the SCCM client will fail to configure software updates on the PC. Make sure all updates targeted have been downloaded and distributed to a distribution point. Make sure software updates are enabled on the clients (edit the Software Update Client Agent properties). Force Software Update related actions on the agent and monitor the logs If not in a domain environment (WORKGROUP), make sure a Server Locator Point (SMSSLP property during install) is defined in the client Have a look at log file locations for SCCM 2007 (most still apply to 2012) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb892800.aspx, and troubleshoot any issues for the SUP component on the client and server: Software Update Point Log Files By default, the Configuration Manager 2007 site system log files are found in <ConfigMgrInstallationPath>\Logs.
