You would be better doing this direct in ADS i think, we haven't introduced a WSUS server yet tho as we couldn't justify the sever cost until we go virtualised this summer but I thought they were mainly just for windows updates more than to be used like a SMS Server as was.

to check if the policy is being deployed properly you should run 'resultant set of policies' from a group policy snap in, from mmc you need the adminpak and groupadm (think thats its name ) then you can run the report on a pc and see what policies have run which have failed and for what reason.

yep wsus fully working was trying to add the reg key inside that wsus gpo but i know it will cause me problems in the long run.

the wsus server is sooo much better for our company as we have limited access for peoples internet so some PC's never used to get updates.... also the amount of bandwitdh that 100+ users take up when they us to start doing the downloads individually (512k leased line) but hopefully we will have out 2mb lease line in a few weeks and bandwidth wont be a problem

and even better now as we can control the SP3 rollout rather then our internet users trying to do it themselves and causing us problems

i am gonna give it another go before the weekend and keep this thread constantly updated with my problems as i hate group policies
