Excerpted from "Troubleshooting Software Update Services" by Jeremy Moskowitz:

Q: "I followed your instructions on your original article (see "Patching the Holes"), but I can't seem to be able to get my "automatic updates" download from my server. It keeps pointing to http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Jeremy Moskowitz: Admins can still go to Windows Update, but users will get turned away. Even so, in both cases Windows Update from within the browser points to that Microsoft site. Performing this SUS addition doesn't change that; you just bring additional scheduling functions to the table.

Clearly, you don't want admins going to that site anymore for updates. You can use another policy to stop this from happening. Do so by enabling the policy by clicking on User Configuration | Admin Templates | Start Menu and Taskbar | Remove links and access to Windows Update.

When you do, users and admins will get an Access Denied error if they perform a regular Windows Update.
