Can a WSUS server update itself?

Hi,

I have a Windows 2003 EE SP1 with WSUS 2 installed on it.
I modified the local Group Policy so this server can get the updates from
itself by specifying the URL as http://localhost or http://myserver.mydomain,
but it never worked. When I run wuauclt /detectnow, no new process is created
and nothing happens...
I have to do them manually by going to the Microsoft Windows Update web site.

Any reason or how can I resolve this?

Thanks for your help.
Yann

Hi Yann, have you tried the WUS NG?

Hi,

My bad: I didn't pay enough attention and I thought I was in the correct
newsgroup.

Thanks for the redirection.
