Abstract

Disclosed are approaches for enforcement of updates for devices unassociated with a directory service. An application executing on a computing device can determine, based on a policy received from a management service, that the computing device is to use an update service specified in the policy to receive updates. The application then modifies a setting of the computing device to specify the use of the update service by the computing device.
