SUS Server

I just configured an WSUS server on our site and now am battling to get the
clients to update from it. I have manually configured one pc as a test via
gpedit.msc /computer config/ admin template/windows component/windows update.
I ran gpudate.
The registry settings reflect the server address is correct and enabled.
But when i attempt a manual update via start/all programs/microsoft update
then it opens the update.microsoft.com.

Have i missed something. Can anyone assist?

Hi,

WSUS does not have Web interface for the clients that they can update
from. It is only using the Automatic Updates client.


And a fyi:

Please post WSUS related issues to the newsgroup dedicated to WSUS:
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services

WebNews link to the WSUS newsgroup:

Or use a newsgroup reader (default Outlook Express) to access this new
