I setup a SUS server on a W2k system. I have followed all
the instructions, but can not get the clients to talk to
the server/grab updates. All the servers are Domain
members. I set up a test server first and this worked
fine. I changed the client systems to look at the new
server. The only difference is the new server has two
additonal web sites CAN SUS BE RUN ON A SERVER WITH MORE
THAN ONE WEBSITE? or does it need to stand alone????
 
It is best to run SUS on a server by itself. This is mainly due to the fact
that best-practice IIS security and SUS security needs do not necessarily
match up. For instance, if you run the IIS lockdown tool and enable URLSCAN,
it will break SUS by locking down the download of executables.
