Hi,
I will configure WSUS on Windows 2019, I have a domain, and my question is, if I need to connect this WSUS server to my domain, or this is not necessary?
thanks

I have a problem, I created reg file for non-domain servers to apply setting related to WSUS, content of this file is:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"WUServer"="https://wsus.ad.company.com:8531"
"WUStatusServer"="https://wsus.ad.company.com:8531"
"UpdateServiceUrlAlternate"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]
"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000
"AUOptions"=dword:00000003
"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000
"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003
"ScheduledInstallEveryWeek"=dword:00000001
"AutoInstallMinorUpdates"=dword:00000001
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000001
Servers appear in WSUS, but they do not report. My domain computers are reporting while after they connect to WSUS, and these non ddomain computers do not reports at all (I waiting already 24 hours).
Did all the non domain-joined clients fail to report?
Please help to confirm whether the clients installed the latest updates. If not, please help to install the latest updates.
Remove the non domain-joined clients on the WSUS console and check for updates manually on the clients to see whether this issue will be resolved or not.
Hello Tuteck,
Thanks for your posting on Q&A.
There is not necessary to join the WSUS server in to domain. Of course, you can.
I read that if I did not connect wsus to domain, then clients cannot report to it, is that true?
No. The report is not related whether the WSUS Server is joined into domain or not.
Regards,
Rita

Hi,
It's not like that, if you join or not join to domain client machines will report to wsus, once the WSUS IP address is available in client machines GPO.
WSUS can use a standalone server
To report client machines in wsus server, refer below screenshot this settings should update on the client machines.
cmd->gpedit.msc -> Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administraive Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Updates

Hi @Tutek
WSUS server is not a domain based, there's no requirement that we must join the WSUS server to the domain. You can join to the domain, [OR] not join is OK.
You can use WSUS as a standalone server and it requires modifying the registry on the client devices.
