updates via group policy not working. Help please.

I have installed WSUS on a W2K server. It is downloading updates fine.

I want to deploy these updates to Workstations via a group policy which I
have set up in a test OU. The workstations appear to be picking up the
ploicy fine but when I look in c:\winnt\winupdate.log I get this.

The problem seems to be authentication but I am not sure why. I have set up
the iis wsusadmin virtual directory with anon access and change the username
and pw to an account that is a domain account (not sure if that was right
thing to do). i have also gone to C:\Program Files\Update Services\ and set
the permissions for domain users.

Still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is starting to do my head in.
