After reading your reply I went to check the GP admin template settings and
found that I had "http://server-01" there for both the intranet service
location and intranet statistics. To be more exact I retyped it as
"http://Server-01". I don't know if the syntax is case-sensitive but it
surely couldn't hurt. In any case, outside of my clients not getting
updated at the time when I need to assure that a critical update gets pushed
out, is there a way to proactively test this and gain assurance it will work
when things get hot and heavy. I seem to have a Murphy's Law magnet around
me lately so this is definitely of concern to me. The other GP settings in
this same GPO are appearing at the clients so it is my hope that these
Windows Update - automatic settings are working likewise. The latest
Direct-X critical update was when I've last tested this out with no clients
properly working. All of the Win2k clients are SP4 of course being that
they are fully updated and so I am to believe that the AU client files that
are needed for SUS are the very same ones that were being used prior to SUS
being introduced to the domain. Is this of any relevance to this not
working? Any other ideas of things to double-check?

Thanks again,
Dale
