  Hi,

  Do you want to use the different account for the WSUS management? Is so, that account must be a member of either the WSUS Administrators or the local Administrators security groups on the server on which WSUS is installed in order to use the WSUS console.

  Hope this helps.

  I would like to know if it's possible to change service account used by WSUS 2008R2 SP1 to sync with Windows Update servers

  No.
