Did you set the port when you configured the group policy objects?  Standard port is 8530.

It'll look like: http://SERVERNAME:8530
What port did you select when you installed WSUS?  It'll already be configured on the IIS Server at this point.

Was this a a reinstall of WSUS?  Is this Server 2008/2003 Standard or SBS?

IIS allready gave it port 8530
Sbs 2011 Migrated from SBS 2003. I just added the port in GPO. do I have tro wait for it to sync with the client computers
I never reinstalled WSUS yet. Im just wondering if that would solve my problem. WSUS comes preinstalled in SBS2011
Run the following on the clients(Not all is necessary--but there's no harm)

%Windir%\system32\net.exe stop bits
%Windir%\system32\net.exe stop wuauserv
%Windir%\system32\net.exe stop cryptsvc
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v SusClientId /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v LastWaitTimeout /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v DetectionStartTime /f
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v NextDetectionTime /f
del %WINDIR%\WindowsUpdate.log /S /Q
rd /s /q %windir%\softwareDistribution
%Windir%\system32\net.exe start cryptsvc
%Windir%\system32\net.exe start bits
%Windir%\system32\net.exe start wuauserv


sc sdset wuauserv D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)


sc sdset bits D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)

wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
wuauclt /reportnow

exit /B 0
wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow

is the most important line in the script
I allready did that and no go.
SBS2003 R2 or just SBS2003?  Was your old WSUS Database migrated?  

You may have duplicate GPO's if you did not remove the ones you manually created on the old SBS2003 box.  

Did you follow a migration document in order to migrate? If so, which one?

The Migration steps call for the deletion of the following SBS 2003 R2 based GPOs:

    Small Business Server Update services Client Computer Policy.
    Small Business Server Update services Common Settings Policy.
    Small Business Server Update services Server Computer Policy.
