    Hi all,

    We are setting up a SUS server here at our site. We have been able to
    get several machines to get their updates from it as opposed to directly
    from the microsoft site.

    My question is this, is there a way to set up SUS so that you can use a
    browser to connect to http://susserver.mydomain.com and be able to have
    it scan the machine and then download the needed updates, ala
    windowsupdate.microsoft.com?

    My googling has not turned up anything todate. maybe someone has
    developed something like this already and is willing to share?

    TIA

    Raoul
