    there's a few ways to check to see what's going on with your server. You
    can go throu the sus admin(make sure you've approved the updates that you
    want) and check the sync status. If it's been synced then the server si
    doing it's job. As far as the client goes, there's a couple ways to handle
    the auto updates on the client machine. The easiest by far is using the
    gpedit.msc command.
    here's the steps (these steps are for running an XP client)
    type gpedit.msc in your run prompt.
    double click on the administrative templates subdirectory under computer
    configuration.
    click on the windows components directory
    double click on windows update
    double click on configure automatic updates properties
    click on the enabled button
    select when you want to get updates. If you select 4 you will need to fill
    in the two remaining day and time options.
    click on next setting
    (THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART)
    click on enabled
    now put in the name or the ip of your server that is running SUS (ie
    http://SUSserver, or http://255.255.255.255)
    put the same thing in the remaining box and click ok.
    Reboot your client and then give it an hour or so.
    To check to see what your client is doing go to you c:\windows directory
    and look for a windows update.log file this will tell you when and where
    updates were downloaded from.

    Hope this helps.
