Answer : WSUS on a NON-AD environment.

The settings are easily done in local group policy. Afterwards, you export a regfile like this:
--
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"WUServer"="http://wsus"
"WUStatusServer"="http://wsus"
"TargetGroupEnabled"=dword:00000001
"TargetGroup"="your group"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
"AUOptions"=dword:00000004
"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000004
"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000009
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000001
"NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001
"AutoInstallMinorUpdates"=dword:00000001
"RebootRelaunchTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000001
"RebootRelaunchTimeout"=dword:000001e0

With a domain admin account, you can then merge that regfile remotely with the help of reg.exe eytchesons mrrc.
