David installs Software Update Services on a network server named S1. When David attempts to synchronize S1 with the Windows Update servers, he receives an error message. David suspects that the proxy server requires authentication.

He opens Internet Explorer and verifies that he can communicate with an external Web site by using the proxy server. What should David do to ensure that S1 can communicate with the Windows Update servers?
  1. Configure authentication to the proxy server in the SUS options.
  2. Restart the IIS administration tool.
  3. Configure the Internet Explorer settings to bypass the proxy server.
  4. Install the Microsoft Firewall Client.
Explanation
Answer - A - To ensure that S1 can communicate with the Windows Update servers, David should configure authentication to the proxy server in the SUS options.

Key Takeaway: SUS is a client-server application that enables a server on your intranet to act as a point of administration for updates. Once the updates for SUS clients are approved, the clients download and install the approved updates automatically without requiring local administrator account interaction. After configuring SUS you must configure proxy settings if the server running SUS connects to Windows Update using a proxy server. If your proxy server requires authentication, you can configure SUS to authenticate, and you must store all update content as well as metadata locally.
