How do you enable Give me updates for other Microsoft products?

Posted by derrickwortman We have just set up WSUS and configured
automatic updates. It's working great so far but we would like all computers to automatically update other Microsoft products as well. I found an article on how to enable this using group policies but for some reason the box is not available in our Group Policy Management Console.
