If anyone is running SUS successfully, please could you let me know what
entries you get in the windows update.log file.
I get this kind of entry each time:
2002-08-06 08:26:19 07:26:19 Success IUENGINE Querying =
software
update catalog from
https://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/autoupdate/getmanifest.asp
2002-08-06 08:26:19 07:26:19 Success IUENGINE Determining =
machine
configuration
That (to me) implies updates coming from the Windows Update site (which =
is
actually blocked by a GPO - User Configuration/Administrative =
Templates/Start
Menu & Taskbar/Disable and remove links to Windows Update [enabled]). =20
If the updates are coming from the SUS server I would expect the log to =
give
the name of the server, not the windows update site. The PCs are =
getting
updates ... but from where??? And if they ARE coming from windows =
update how
is that possible if the GPO blocks access to it?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks everyone

Hi Kevin,
I have concluded the same problem with SUS.
I will spent some time next week to investigate this problem.
Can you inform me about your solution in this case ?
With regards,
Ruben Spruijt
