Software Update Services

[Guest Microsoft Newbie]

Hi

 

I recently installed the SUS on a Windows 2003 Server. I would like to

configure the system so that the updates go to a test machine and then to

the clients (production).

 

Can anyone help me with this configuration or point me to the necessary

documentation.

 

Regards

You place computers from the domain into different groups and make

different deployment choices for each group. For example, you can

have two groups, one called "Test Machines" that all applicable

updates are automatically installed on, and another group called "User

Computers" that will wait to install updates until you manually choose

to install them. We use a setup like this at work.

obosolete.

HI Kelly

Thanks for your response. You mentioned two groups. Where are these groups

created.

what about reading and understanding the documentation before implementing a

new piece of technology?
