I am trying to set up an SUS server. I'm having a bit of
difficulty trying to get everything to wokr properly.
Basically when I try and connect to our server I get a
simple directory listing instead of the page I should be
recieving. I read the manual and all but I can't seem to
figure out what's going on. Does any one know of any
quirks for in getting the page to display properly with
the SUS server? I'm at my wits end.

Hi Brian,

If you are using Internet Explorer to browse SUS (e.g. http://susserver/)
that is expected behavior. Just point your AU (via registry or group policy)
to http://susserver/ and it will pick up updates on the server...

Also, don't forget that your clients need SUS Client to connect to SUS
server and get updates...

You can also visit "microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs" news group....

Hi,

If you haven't checked out this white paper by Microsoft on deploying SUS I
really recommend it:
