Clients connecting to WSUS server
this is a new install of WSUS on W2K3 STD
I created a Test_WSUS OU and moved 7 test clients into that OU. I created a Group Policy and linked the GPO to that OU.
WSUS sees recognizes the test clients, but when the clients go to Windows updates, it appears they are still pulling from http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us.
Two questions:
1) How can I confirm the clients are getting updates from WSUS vs Microsoft.com
2) Will the Windows Update page change telling the client the updates are managed by the WSUS server
