I've installed SUS (on Windows 2000 Server) and can
administer it by getting the updates, but find no
documentation on HOW TO CONFIGURE CLIENTS
to automatically get these updates from my server???!!!

Any help is most appreciated (step by step if you are so
kind!!),

You need to add the SUS.ADM template to your Windows 2000 and above workstations. If you don't have the template, you can download it from Microsoft. You have a few options on how to deploy the template. You could manually load it, configure it on each machine, you could write a REG file that had the correct key settings, or if you have Active Directory, you could use a GPO. The settings in the template are configurable, like time of update, server or IP address use, etcetera.
On a local W2k/XP box, type gpedit.msc at the run command, Open the COmputer COnfiguration, right click Administrative Templates, click add template, select/browse for the sus.adm. I believe there are 4 settings you can configure.

Good luck.
