We use WSUS on several servers to distribute windows updates.
I have a few pcs which I am unsure where they get their updates from. I have checked their group policy settings with no joy as the field werent modified but I know they are getting the updates from one of the wsus.
Is there anyway to check on the machine itself to see which server it is getting the update from?

On the client machine, search for windowsupdate.log, should be in c:\windows. Bring that up in notepad; read from the bottom up and look for references to the WSUS server it's querying.

To create a new log with less noise, STOP the Automatic Updates service, then delete or rename the existing windowsupdate.log and start the Automatic Updates service. Go to start / run and enter "wuauclt /detectnow"; give a few seconds and read the new windowsupdate.log.
