Vista Newbie Help

I just installed a Vista Business laptop on my network

I need to know how to add it to Update services?

Do I need to install a client on the Vista machine? If so where do I get the
software to install it from?

Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated

Thanks

Tom

Just configure it as you would for XP and wait a while.

There are 10 types of people, those that understand binary and those that don't.

Read the file C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log
Note: The client can visit WU/MU site via the IE interface even if the
Auto-update client is pointed to WSUS.
