Hi all,

I am experimenting with implementing Microsoft's SUS service for a client of mine.

I have setup a test system with a Win2003 Server (call it "server1"). I installed SUS on the server. In the SUS settings, for "Specify the name your clients use to locate this update server" to "server1".

I then created a policy for the users with the Windows Update entry pointing to "http://server1".

But nothing is happening. The clients still go to the MS site for updates. So not sure where I am going wrong.

Help!!

thanks

Nate

Have you applied the .ADM "administrative template" from Microsoft in Active Directory Group Policies? Although it is not required, it does give you more options on how to deploy it.
Please read: http://www.susserver.com/Articles/AU-AutoUpdateGroupPolicy.asp

Step 1 on that page gives you links to the resources, and the rest of the page tells you how to use it.

Make sure all computers you want to update are part of the AD Domain.

We are successfully running SUS on a Win2000 server. 99% of our client computers are WinXP, and they receive the updates on the schedule I set. Since I "approve" the updates once a month, the computers get updated on the first Tuesday of each month.

Good luck!
