Redirect Local SUS to v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com

I have been testing XP SP2 RC2 for a while. One question that comes to
my mind is that can I point our company local SUS server to
v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com? Have someone done that? Does someone
have some idea to do that?

The reason I want to do this is to test SP2 RC2 deployment through SUS
so I can have better understanding the performance of SP2 install.

Thanks

Hi

This will not work. You will not be able to test SP2 deployment
using SUS until the final SP2 is released.


Fyi, there is a separate newsgroup for SUS:

microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...wareupdatesvcs

URL to the group softwareupdatesvcs for those who uses the Web
interface to access the newsgroups:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...wareupdatesvcs

A Web site about SUS with a FAQ and a SUS forum:
