I am a Windows Server / Active Directory noob. I've got a Windows SBS 2003 server running, and have installed WSUS, which appears to be operating properly.

I am at the point where I need to "configure client computers", but I am sure I am missing some important information.

I can follow the instructions supplied by WSUS's inbuilt help, but...

It would appear that I do not know enough about group policy to get it working. I open Group Policy Management, and can edit the policies I see there with the Group Policy Editor;

But I don't know how / where to setup the settings for WSUS so that they actually work :-) It appears that every group policy object I edit has the same set of options, including things like Windows Update settings. So there must be a "right" one to edit, or a "right" way to do this, but I just don't get it :-)

So I have in fact changed some settings, but WSUS still reports there being no client computers. I have rebooted one client PC to see if it updates then, but no luck.

Hopefully an expert can walk me through it so I can get it working. I need a lot of hand holding :-)

Have you used http://192.168.0.100:8530 in your GPO? The update files running on port 80 are only valid for legacy purposes if you are using WSUS on port 8530. You can't point to port 80 if port 8530 is active, as the structure is not interchangeable.

the %systemdrive%\Program Files\Update Services\Setup\InstallSelfupdateOnPort80.vbs should be preinstalled - this was really a WUS thing (the WSUS beta, not supported)

I still think http://192.168.0.100:8530 is the go. All your logs are http://192.168.0.100/blah
