Hi,
I have just recently installed SBS 2011 as I would like to make use of WSUS to update client PC's so as to reduce my bandwith usage. All sounds well and good but...
The SBS server will not self-update and the clients will not update. WSUS has synchronized and has downloaded the updates which have been approved for installation to the various groups. Whenever the server or client checks to see if any updates are available none are returned although they show in WSUS console as being required for those machines.
I have checked the WSUS virtual directorys and an error is produced when testing the connection.
I have ensured that the 'NetworkService' does have Read Access to the physical path, but still this error persists?
Does anyone have any ideas? as I am now tempted to try SBS 2008.
Here are some Windows Update logs from the SBS...

The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that \$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.
I have ensured that the 'NetworkService' does have Read Access to the physical path, but still this error persists?
Does anyone have any ideas? as I am now tempted to try SBS 2008.
