I have implemented a GPO to my "SUS OU". I move computer running XP SP1 from
the Computer container to this new OU. On some of my machines, they are
still trying to access their updates from Microsoft instead of talking to
SUS. If I look at the machine properties, the auto-updates are greyed out.
Any ideas? It's quite a few machiens like this....

Hi

This *might* be your issue, from a previous post in the
microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs newsgroup:

Check the following registry key. If it does not exist, create it.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\WindowsUpdate\
Auto Update]
"SusServerVersion" = REG_DWORD: 0x00000001 (1)

If this key does not exist or is not set to 1, then the v5 client appears
to use Windowsupdate instead of SUS

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:
