Re: SBS2003 & SUS waiting updates - causing login failures

Hi Nick,

I presume you've followed the white paper for installing SUS on SBS? If so,
you have imported the GPO bits and set up your GP object with the SUS
settings.

Many prefer to create and apply the SUS policy at the workstation level, so
your server(s) are excluded.

Expand Group Policy Management | Forest: | Domains | YourDomain | My
Business | Computers | SBS Computers, and with SBS Computers selected,
create and link your SUS policy.
