Instead of adding an additional OU, I modified the default
domain policy by setting the Update Service to point to an
intranet server; therefore, inserting the netbios name of
the server hosting the SUS services. I checked the
services.msc and only found one service running that
pertains to SUS and that was the SUS Update Service. Are
there any other services that should be running on this
server other than the one specified?
