Hi all,

Does anyone knows how to configure the client sided Windows update to check
a SUS server instead of the Microsoft Windows Update site?

Note: I have XP SP1 and W2K SP3 ... which means No need of Client software,
it's included in the SP's

Other possibilities I tried is :
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...r2003/proddocs/deployguide/dmebh_sus_liwx.asp

But When I expand the Domain Policy Group as asked, I can't find the Windows
Update container.
I have some others but not the 'Windows Update'

Any ideas?


thanks in advance
 
we experienced problem with inability to install clients
on machines that have SP4 installed. the SP4 already has
the client but no obvious way to configure easily. so we
tried the following which works for us:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows /
CurrentVersion / WindowsUpdate

change URL [default is windowsupdate.microsoft.com] to
your SUS Server.

a real pain but it works.
