Hi!

I'm getting this msg from my win2003 server's event log. (SUS is on a w2k
server)
================================================== ===
The Software Update Services Synchronization Service service failed to start
due to the following error:
The system cannot find the path specified.
=====================================
and it's not getting the patches.(was working ok previously)

I've search through the internet and managed to get a solution on this issue.
It's dued to the wrong path configuration in the settings.txt folder(in the
c:\inetpub folder). Below is the setting
=====================
AllowBasicAuth,0
AutomaticReapproval,0
AutoSyncEnabled,1
AutoSyncMaxRetries,3
AutoSyncPeriod,1440
CabPoolPath,e:\SUS\content\cabs
CabPoolURL,http://10.71.12.69/conten

ProxyRequiresAuth,0
ProxyUserName,
SyncApprovedItems,0
UseApprovedItemsList,1
UseProxy,0
UseWUServer,1
WUServer,10.71.12.69
==================

My question is, how and what changes to make? ( MY sus server is install on
a win2k server with a ip of 10.71.12.70, and the win2003 server is using the
ip 10.71.12.69). Any idea?

Thks!
