oh my friend, sites are used for more than just replication. They're used for

There is a group policy that will do this. You have to add
the ADM file for SUS, but when you do, the policy becomes available. Then
you can set the suppress reboot with the policy.

VNC is decent for the price, but we felt it was better to
have a product that logs who's logging in and gives more security control.
We went with Remote Admin 2.1 instead, and it is cheap and works
well.

Nope.
100% wrong. SUS uses the Automatic Update Client, which is part of
Win2k SP3 and later, and all versions of XP and 2003.
What
you do is change the settings of the client to look at a specified SUS server
rather than at the Microsoft Windows Update servers.

Actually if you want to just understand
what adprep /forestprep is doing in the context of schema changes, youll
find the ldif files on the w2k03 cd itself (I believe in the i386 directory).
See sch*.ldf for them all. All adprep is doing for schema upgrades is importing
those files.
