Peter,
Use the below script...I use it for all my workstaion RIS images and unattended
CD images...Once it updates (10-20 minutes +) depending on available updates,
sizes, locations etc I place the workstation/s in their respective OU's which
have a Group Policy that "regulates" the flow of updates...the SUS forums on
the web are a wealth of knowlege...Author of the script is at the top so he
desertves any credit...

Subject: [ActiveDir] GPO/SUS Issue
Hi all
I'm trying to troubleshoot and confirm whether or not my machines are actually
getting the GPO's settings and talking to my local SUS server for update
purposes. Does anyone know of a way to force a Windows Update Client to
actually go and check for updates?
I know which log file I need to check I just need to force a connection/check
by the client.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Peter Johnson
