SUS update how to check

[ovvvy]

I created and applied a GPO called (windows_update) for my
OU and sub OUs. I used the Windows update document to edit
the User configurations\Administrative templates\Windows
Components\Windows Update.

I reffresh the policy and run gpresult.
I found out that my GPO called windows_update is under
REgistry settings in GPresults is it normal and not in
security settings.
Last Qis how can I test if this is working like a way of
testing it?

This is actually an SUS question. There's actually a specific newsgroup just
for that if you have any future questions or errors with SUS.

Anyway, for a quick answer, in the Winnt folder (or whatever your Windows
folder is called), there's a windowsupdate.log file you can check what has
been installed and whether it was a success or fail.

Hope that helps.
