Absolutely, SUS is the way to go. They have even become very good at
making new updates available to it as fast as normal Win Update.
Just for the sake of credibility on that opinion, absolutely no network
design interpretation was required and is therefore likely to be
accurate.

I don't even try.
I use a SUS server internally and that way, each patch gets downloaded
only once and is forever available to all the inside folks,
regardless of the Internet state.

Anyone update their ISA box from Windows Update ? I couldn't get it to
work,
I got this :
Windows Update Error
Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested
page. Select from any of the following pages for information about
Windows
Update
services, or send us your feedback.
Windows Update Home Page
About Windows Update
Support Information
Send error number to Microsoft (0x800A138F)
Turns out the catalogue is now downloaded by HTTPS, and so you need to
have
not only a HTTP but also a HTTPS allow out packet filter for the default
external interface of the ISA box, then it works fine.
I have read around a bit about auto updating servers and there seems to
very
polarised views, does anyone else update their ISA box (or servers) this
way, keeping in mind that ISA specific updates will have to be
downloaded
separately anyway, is it worth it ? i.e. you are not going to get
MS04-001
from Windows Update and I haven't seen it on SUS ? But I suppose it's
better
than nothing to at least have the underlying O/S up to date.
