WUS Server Tryout

For the beta release, you can perform all the steps in this section, “Step 2: Create folders in the file system of the WUS server” and the next section, “Step 3: Setup virtual directories in the Web site on port 80 of the WUS server” by running the following script:

cscript WUS install drive:\program files\Microsoft Windows Update Services\Setup\InstallSelfupdateOnPort80.vbs

If this script doesn’t work, and it didn’t in my case, you need to follow the manual steps in the deployment guide, but its no biggy. You need to create 2 virtual directories on your default port 80 website: SeflUpdate, and ClientWebService, see the deployment guide for details.
