Software Update Services

[Microsoft Newbie]

Hi

I recently installed the SUS on a Windows 2003 Server. I would like to
configure the system so that the updates go to a test machine and then to
the clients (production).

Can anyone help me with this configuration or point me to the necessary
documentation.

Regards

You place computers from the domain into different groups and make
different deployment choices for each group. For example, you can
have two groups, one called "Test Machines" that all applicable
updates are automatically installed on, and another group called "User
Computers" that will wait to install updates until you manually choose
to install them. We use a setup like this at work.

obosolete.

HI Kelly
Thanks for your response. You mentioned two groups. Where are these groups
