WSUS 3.0 SP1 vs. SCE 2007 SP1 for updating domain computers

To All Windows Experts out there,

is there any other methods to update the whole computer in a domain other than setting up WSUS 3.0 SP1 and then set the GPO to enable Auto-update ?

because I tried using WSUS 3.0 SP1 and already set the Windows Update GPO in my DC, the updates still hasn't pushed propely. Moreover, the status in my WSUS 3.0 SP1 server stopping at 99% and most of them displaying yellow triangle (exclamation) mark and some of them is uncontactable.

how about using System Center Essential 2007 SP1 ? does it act the same as WSUS 3.0 SP1 ?

please shed some light here for this matter.

thanks.
