Hi Carl,

OK, check this information to see if it will lead you to a solution.

The following document describes how to updata an SBS environment using SUS:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5F1CC6F0-79B7-4A95-
BCAB-49BEE6D5DF13&displaylang=en

The following information is taken from this document....

 To create the Basic SUS Config GPO
1. If necessary, log on to the computer running Windows Small Business
Server as Administrator or with an account that has
administrative rights and permissions.
2. The Server Management console appears. If it does not appear, click
Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Server Management.
3. In the console tree, double-click Advanced Management.
4. Double-click Group Policy Management, double-click Forest:
YourDomainName, double-click Domains, and then double-click YourDomainName.
5. Right-click YourDomainName, and then click Create and Link a GPO Here.
6. In the text box, type Basic SUS Config, and then click OK. The Group
Policy object appears in the details pane.
7. In the details pane, right-click Basic SUS Config, and then click Edit.
Group Policy Object Editor opens.
8. In the console tree of Group Policy Object Editor, under Computer
Configuration, double-click Administrative Templates.
9. Under Administrative Templates, double-click Windows Components, and
then select Windows Update.
10. In the details pane, double-click Configure Automatic Updates.
11. Select Enabled.
12. Accept the default settings under Configure automatic updating (3 -
Auto download and notify for install), and then click OK.
13. Double-click Specify intranet Microsoft update service location.
14. Click Enabled.
15. Type http://YourServerName in the text box labeled "Set the intranet
update service for detecting updates" and also in the text box labeled "Set
the intranet statistics server," and then click OK. The URL
http://YourServerName is the URL that you recorded when you installed SUS.
Be sure to include the entire URL, including http://.
16. Close Group Policy Object Editor.

Run GPUpdate to push the update out to the clients
