SUS working, but PC's are still trying to go to WinUpdate

We have SUS up and running with all of our PCs going to it for patches.
HOWEVER... we now notice that many PCs are still hitting the firewall trying
to go to: windowsupdate.microsoft.com/v4.IUIDNET.CAB
OR ... ..wustat.windows.com.wutrack.bin? and then a series of #s
Checking logs - they are going to both the internet and the SUS server.
I have checked the registry and all of them are set to SUS server - when I
check the update.log, I only see entries to SUS.
Is there another setting that I am missing? Why are these still hitting the
firewall?
Any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi

Check the following 2 registry values. If one or both does not exist,
create them.

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

If those values 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:

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