Re: WSUS question/problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



OMG! I just went through the setup again including the synchronization,
creating the GPO, linking it, etc.

I checked WSUS Admin again, and it shows one unassigned computer! Yeaaah!
That's the best that's happened so far.

However, I have created two groups in Computers in WSUS Admin. I've created
one called "SBS Computers" and one called "SBS Servers."

In the Group Policy Management, I created two groups in Group Policy
Objects, one called "WSUS - SBS Computers" and another called "WSUS - SBS
Servers."

In the My Business folder, (My Business, Computers, SBS Computers) in
GroupPolicy Management, I linked the GPO "WSUS - SBS Computers" to the SBS
Computers.

I did the same for the server except I did the link under the Domain
Controller folder since I'm using SBS2K3 Prem.
