[dba-Tech] Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS)

I tried about a year ago to install he sus server.
I removed it again because there was no way I could get it to work.

The server part worked fine but the client side not.
You need to install a special Update client that replaces the regular
update client in windows.
The difference is that it will look or you can define a SUS server in
your network.

My problem was that the client was not installable on a computer because
the language was not the same.
It was however the Dutch client I was trying to install (If I recall
exact).
Since we also have ISA server that has a cache, the importance of a SUS
server is not that really high....or even pointless.

Has anyone ever made SUS work?
 
I've got a copy of it on a server here with a view to patching all the
pc's over night without going round to each one to do a windows update.
 
The reasoning behind this thinking was especially evident today with the
outbreak of a Sasser worm, despite 50% of the machines having already
been patched, but I'm having trouble telling the client pc's where to
look for the updates - they can't seem to see the SUS server. I was
wondering if anyone had any experience with this or any ideas how I
might make it work...
 
Thanks
 
 
Jon
