How to verify if Windows Update location is properly configured from WSUS

windows-server-2008wsus

I was recently configuring a WSUS server. However I am not sure if I've set up correctly (WSUS isn't an everyday tool at the place where I work).

I've been wondering, Is there a command (or a tool) in Windows 7 that can be executed on a client machine and will verify the location from where the client is pulling the updates?

UPDATE:
It seems that the WSUS is working. The GPO is showing the clients as Kyle Brandt suggested.

However I just want to verify one more thing. Here's more info on the GPO i've created in order to distribute the updates.

Corect me if I'm wrong, I am not sure about Target group name for this computer option. Does it want as a value of the names of the AD Groups or the names of the WSUS groups? I wasn't sure so I include both of them – from the image you can see that I have put inside the relevant AD Groups and WSUS Unssigned Computers group

If you're using Group Policy to configure your updates, you can query the registry for the Target Group and WSUS server values:

C:\> REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate"
  WUServer    REG_SZ    http://fcsd-sccm
  WUStatusServer    REG_SZ    http://fcsd-sccm
  TargetGroupEnabled    REG_DWORD    0x1
  TargetGroup    REG_SZ    Servers

Or just get the WUServer value alone:

C:> REG QUERY "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "WUServer"
  WUServer    REG_SZ    http://fcsd-sccm

If the WUServer value is not present, you're connecting to Microsoft.

The Powershell equivalent:

Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
