    Which version of WindowsServer OS do you have?

    to connect to an instance of Windows Internal Database, use:
    \\.\pipe\MSSQL$MICROSOFT##SSEE\sql\query (WS2003-2008R2)
    or
    \\.\pipe\MICROSOFT##WID\tsql\query (WS2012-2012R2) as instance name. But this will only work locally, as Remote Connections cannot be enabled for this edition of SQL Server. Also note that "Windows Authentication" should be used (as opposed to SQL Server Authentication),

    for wsus how to update workgroup system to wsus server

    Do you mean: you have some non-domain (workgroup) computers, and you wish to configure those computers to be clients of your WSUS server?

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939844(v=ws.10).aspx

    You can use Local Group Policy, or registry editing methods, or scripts, or various tools to deploy the desired registry settings.

    Or do I misunderstand your question? :)

    Here is an example of a utility/tool which may be helpful:

    (I have not used this utility myself, but it looks very well done :)

    EDIT: here is another method which is also useful to know:
