WSUS and Group Policy Unee 5/25/2007 3:11:02 PM Is there a new wuau.adm file that corresponds with WSUS 3.0? In the current file there is a windows update setting to "Specify intranet Microsoft update service location" that would allow you to create a GPO to indicate the server location from which to retrieve updates via url (http:// location for the server). This worked great with WSUS 2.0. Does this work for WSUS 3.0 or am I missing something?What I have are multiple replica servers and I need a GPO that I can apply to each site OU to direct each site to it's specific WSUS site server. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

RE: WSUS and Group Policy Dave 5/25/2007 6:18:02 PM I'm just a newbie to the WSUS 3.0 services. If you have installed WSUS on port 8530, then your source address has to include the port number. Example: http://wsusserver:8530 If you've installed the WSUS servers to the default web port 80 then specifing the port number is not nessesary.

Yep. And that setting still exists. It's kind of a critical setting for WSUS functionality! ;-) > Does this work for WSUS 3.0 or am > I missing something?

Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Create *multiple* GPOs, and link each GPO to the appropriate SITE, with the correct site-specific URL in the GPO? -- Lawrence Garvin, M.S., MCTS, MCP Independent WSUS Evangelist MVP-Software Distribution (2005-2007) https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile=30E00990-8F1D-4774-BD62-D095EB07B36E Everything you need for WSUS is at http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/technologies/featured/wsus/default.mspx And, almost everything else is at http://wsusinfo.onsitechsolutions.com .....
