SUS

We are in the process of upgrading to Windows XP
(actually the "pre" process) and are trying to figure out
a way to apply the security patches and updates and have
come across the SUS. Does anyone use this? From what I've
gathered so far, it uses HTTP to push the updates to the
PCs/Workstations. Does the server require a user
license/CAL for each machine that will be updated, or no
because it is using HTTP? Does it have to be a dedicated
server, or can it be any Windows 2000 SP2 server
(possibly one that's being used for something else also)?
Is this setup a difficult process (we have an MCSE on
site, but I'll probably be setting this up and have
limited experience on the Windows Server side of things).
Any responses are appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich
