Hello All,
I am trying to resolve issue with two servers which was migrated from physical one to Vm hyper-v. Everything looks fine with except of windows update s. Every time when I ran windows update I am getting error: "CODE 80072EE2 Windows update encountered an unknown problem". I was perfectly sure that this is problem with connection to windows update service. Both servers are in Workgroup and both of them don't have any configuration in local group policy I mean option for "Specify intranet Microsoft Update service location" is set as not configured. However when I look into windowsupdate.log then I see that server is trying to connect to some old WSUS server I suppose was used when server was located in old environment and now don't have connection to:

WSUS is somehow set on the system but I have no idea where is it.

Hi,
I just solved the problem. Maybe it will be useful for someone. All of the settings were stored in registry. There is good article which can show you where you can set it

The correct reference to use for editing the registry for a WSUS v3 environment is in the WSUS v3 Deployment Guide (please don't use the WSUS v2 documentation):
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939844(v=ws.10).aspx
However, the preferable methodology is to use Group Policy or Local Policy to configure the settings via easy-to-read human language, and those policy settings are discussed at this link:
