A few WSUS questions..

[bledd]

I work in a small company that doesn't have a domain, there are 8 XP Sp3 machines, a few 2003 servers, a vista machine and two windows 7 machines

We have one central file server (which also serves nod32 updates via http to the other machines)

Can I simply install WSUS on this server, and then run some sort of tool to configure the machines to look for the WSUS for their updates, and in the event they can't find it (ie a laptop removed from the office), then they'll revert to normal windows update.

Do I need to pick and choose which updates WSUS is to download?

I've never used it before, and want something to fiddle with

Thanks in advance

Ok, so it's locked to either WSUS or Windows update (pending registry changes)

I'll leave the laptop do it's own thing and get all the XP machines at least on the WSUS

typically what sort of size hard drive should I set aside for this? (I guess it grows and grows..)
