No clients see wsus3sp1 "NewsReader" <carl[ at ]anywhere.com> 12/21/2008 10:07:46 PM I have setup wsus3sp1 on 2003 server sp2. Setup GPO to point updates to local server http://updateserver.ourdomain.local added to group computers, even forced it on some test machines in gpedit.msc, but no luck. All of my clients are still looking at microsoft for updates. I need some troubleshooting tools or tips. The MS articles are short on tips for this kind of problem- they assume their will be no issues with this I suppose Thanks Kindly M Kindara
