WSUS Patching
I am using WSUS to patch my servers in the domain. WSUS seems to patch Servers with Windows Server 2008 but not Windows Server 2003. I have run commands and verified the the Reg entry on these devices are pointing to the correct server that holds WSUS. Any suggestions?

Yes. I have run the command on all the systems earlier in the week.
This could also be a built-in firewall issue.
Do the win2k3 severs show up in the management console of WSUS?
If not, try disabling the windows firewall on both servers, see if this helps.
Microsoft also suggests, adding the port number tot the WSUS server URL like http://yourserver:8530 (which is the default one)

Have you looked at the 2003's windowsupdate.log for any errors???

The Windows firewalls are turned off via a GPO and they are not on.
