Your question is a little vague but - If all your computers are in the default computers container you can not apply a SUS GPO. Move all your computers to a new OU, or place them in existing OUs etc. Then you can apply the GPO and like PeteL said "Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >Windows Componants > Windows Update. On the right pane locate "Configure Automatic Updates" and right click it, select properties" A good resource on implementing SUS is http://forums.susserver.com/index.php?

Thanks very much I believe this is working but is there a way I can tell which machine got the update or do I have to walk to the machine to see if they were updated. Isn't there some tool or section in SUS when I can get confirmation the workstation X was updated with such and such updates??

FalconTwo - The is a reporting tool that uses SQLserver at www.susserver.com/software/susreporting
there is also an online version that will convert the text file so you can see exactly what you want - albiet by IP though
