Is it possible to configure windows update for XP Mode in Windows 7 ?

  • Follow


We are migrating some workstations from XP to Windows 7.  Some legacy 
applications have problems in running on it.  In this way, we have 
downloaded and installed those applications in Windows XP Mode on end 
users' workstations.

We would like to know whether there is any way to configure WSUS update 
for those XP VPC ?

Your advice is sought.

Thanks

Did you try doing to them what you have done to other Windows XP machines in 
the past so they use your WSUS server(s)?

Dear Shenan,

Thanks for your advice.  We will try to set up the WSUS client.

We haven't tried yet as we believe those virtual machines (XP Mode) are 
not running (unless the legacy application) is invoked.  In this way, we 
guess they may not be able to access the WSUS Server.

Thanks again
