no client computers have ever contacted the server "NewsReader" <carl[ at ]anywhere.com> 12/24/2008 9:26:07 PM I followed the instructions from MS to setup clients throug gp and even manually configured some clients but none will talk to the wsus 3 sp1 server. I created a dns entry for the server and used that . If I am missing something, it wasnt in the setup instructions . Below is my output from wsus client tool would be nice if it worked.
