I've just set up the SUS server. And I want to test a client PC do update
from SUS server. I understand that the process is scheduled and work in the
background.

Is there a way manually do client windows update from SUS server? what URL I
need to type in the Internet Explorer? Since now when I select "Windows
Update", it still went to MS website.

Thanks.

Vincent,
No there is no way to do a manual update with a web page for picking updates from a SUS server.  You can follow the 
steps in the following article to force the client to do a detection.
