You can't install it on an SBS2000 server, for example -- MS recommends Windows Update for small businesses up to 50 PCs. Yet often small businesses have limited bandwidth to the Internet and could benefit immensely from an SUS server that could download updates overnight on the ISDN line. Too bad you can't install SUS on a Win2k PC for such an environment. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 / fax 1-208-248-3124 http://www.geoapps.com/ AIM: AngusWSF ICQ: 165646506 --------------------------------------------------------- ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
