RE: Where should WSUS be installed?

The biggest issue with adding WSUS to SBS is setting the group policy to http://servername:8530

So?

You ready for Tuesday?

I struggled with this for a long time. The instructions did not mention the port number though it was mentioned in the wizard. I discounted the wizard since the troubleshooting used port 80 and it worked. Well, it took sometime before the computers reported in but they all look fine. Since I have such a small network I am not staging the updates locally. A great resource is Windows Update Services installed on SBS 2003 on the smallbizserver.net site. Sometimes you need to see the pictures to see your mistake.
