The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Setting Up WSUS 3.0

Asked by cchibonga in MS System Center, Active Directory, Windows 2003 Server

i have network with at least 300 computers. i want to use WSUS to control updates for my computers and servers. I have installed WSUS 3.0 on W2k3 server running SP1. i am stuck as to how i should get the client computers to recognize and talk tomy WSUS server.

I have been reading the help section in WSUS it tells me i need to setup a separate Group policy for each group that i create in WSUS. I don't want to mess up my current GPO settings.

I need help with the following:
-> Setting up a new Group policy for WSUS computers without overiding the current Group policies in place.
-> I have offices in 2 states. I want to setup 2 separate groups for my states. I know how to do that in WSUS. Does this mean that i will have to set up 2 separate GPO for my states as well.
If that is the case how can i set up 2 group policies for my states and ensure that computers in those locations recognize the correct GPO
-> once i set up the GPO will my computers automatically be populated in the WSUS console.
-> how do i ensure that my servers are getting the correct updates different from windows xp
-> if wsus installs an update that has a bug or that affects my server is there a way to roll back that action.

thank you for your help.
