Hi

See the chapter "Configuring the Automatic Updates client software" chapter
in the "Software Update Services Deployment White Paper"
(SUS_Deployguide_sp1.doc).

Download link found under "More Information" at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/sus/default.mspx

Also note the "Software Update Services 1.0 ADM File for Service Pack 1" file:

Fyi, there is a separate newsgroup for SUS:

microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

URL to the group softwareupdatesvcs for those who uses the Web
interface to access the newsgroups:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/community/newsgroups/dgbrowser/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

A Web site about SUS with a FAQ and a SUS forum:
