Hi,

you can check the IIS Logs to see whether you clients connect to you SuS-Server. If Patches are really downloaded your logs should contain something like this:

2003-03-27 12:59:45 x.x.x.1 - x.x.x.254 80 GET /content/Q329441_WXP_SP2_23898EE91E0D02AF36DF13CA3D855198A9A5EFF0.EXE - 206 Microsoft+BITS/6.2
2003-03-27 12:59:49 x.x.x.1 - x.x.x.254 80 GET /content/Q329441_WXP_SP2_23898EE91E0D02AF36DF13CA3D855198A9A5EFF0.EXE - 206 Microsoft+BITS/6.2
2003-03-27 12:59:51 x.x.x.1 - x.x.x.254 80 GET /content/Q329441_WXP_SP2_23898EE91E0D02AF36DF13CA3D855198A9A5EFF0.EXE - 206 Microsoft+BITS/6.2
2003-03-27 12:59:51 x.x.x.1 - x.x.x.254 80 HEAD /content/Q814033_WXP_SP2_x86_DEU_75d4af6e3e9567d0269336b51213fab.exe - 200 Microsoft+BITS/6.2
2003-03-27 12:59:51 x.x.x.1 - x.x.x.254 80 GET /content/Q814033_WXP_SP2_x86_DEU_75d4af6e3e9567d0269336b51213fab.exe - 206 Microsoft+BITS/6.2

If this does not show up, check (as already said) that your Clients are either W2K SP3 or WinXP SP1 or deploy the client. Please note that it sometimes takes a full day before the policy to fetch the updates using SuS really applies, so maybe you just need to be patient.

Betreff: RE: SUS server

Have you also installed the Windows Update client via group policy on
the client machines? This is necessary before the machines will see the
SUS server.

Thanks,
Thane

Subject: SUS server

I have configured a test SUS server. It downloads the patches fine, but
I can't seem to get the client to connect and download patches. I set
Windows Update in the Group Policy to "enable", and set it to the server
"http://peter" (the name of the test SUS server). How do I know if it
is actually connecting to it? It doesn't mention Thomas (this computer)
connecting to it in the SUS log, but it does say that it successfully
d/led the patches to Peter. How do I check? When I go to "windows
update" in the Start menu that just connects me to Microsoft's page...
