Abstract
Disclosed are approaches for enforcement of updates for devices unassociated with a domain or directory service. An application executing on a client device can determine that the client device is to use a locator specified in a policy to receive and install updates to software installed on the client device. The application determines whether the client device complies with the policy based at least in part on a value of a registry key stored on the client device. The application then modifies a value of a registry key stored on the client device in an instance in which it is determined that the client device is to use the locator and that the client device does not comply with the policy.
