I have about 200 workstations on my domain and a SUS
server that pushes Windows Update to them. My server is
running Win2k Server with AD. Right now I have to go to
each machine and use gpedit.msc to set the the
workstation to pull updates from the SUS server. I would
like to set a group policy and the domain so it will do
all this for me. I hope this makes sence. I am new to
this. Thanks in advance.

First download SUS Deployment Guide al
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sus/susdeployment.mspx which
contains info on how to setup this policy. Basically you need to:
1. Get wuau.adm from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...EA-D274-42E6-8025-8C667B4C94E9&displaylang=en
2. Create a new Group Policy at the organizational unit that holds the
computer accounts (create one and move computers there if you still have
computers in Computers container)
3. Import wuau.adm file in Administrative Template in Computer Configuration
section of GPO (right click on Administrative Templates to import .adm file)
4. Follow the instructions in Deployment Guide on how to do the rest.
