For those of you who want to redirect Windows Update Automatic Updates to your own
SUS server, you do this in Active Directory or Group Policy on your domain controller.
(If you don't know what any of those items are, you probably need more help than
this info).
You will want MSKB article Q328010
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q328010).
I was able to set up these policies in just a few minutes. My issue stems from a
different subset of this problem... once I did them, they don't apply because the
users don't have administrator rights on their systems to change the automatic update
features. You'd think MS would have addressed that in the policy settings....
Good luck to all.
