Hi

I would think the chapter "Synchronizing Content With Another Server
Running Software Update Services or Manually-Configured Content
Distribution Point" in SUS_Deployguide_sp1.doc would be relevant.

Note that it is a error in the documentation:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=074901c2e895%2400f8c630%24a101280a%40phx.gbl&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D074901c2e895%252400f8c630%2524a101280a%2540phx.gbl

Here is another way it looks like:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=eZt8krMHDHA.1828%40TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl

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:
