Windows 2003 SBS and SUS
I have bought 5 windows 2003 SBS servers to strategically place around my WAN to provide my network with the ability to role out windows updates easily and far less manually. The problem I have encountered is with authentication.

The problem I have encountered is with authentication. I have read a number of articles that have told me to change the password of the IUSR-HOSTNAME account and this has not corrected the issue.
I have the autoupdate directory on the IIS 6 Manager set to anonymous with the U/P of the IUSR-HOSTNAME account and the IP restrictions set to allow all within the IP Ranges I use, however whenever I go to access this from a system on the network I get a request for a Username and Password.
The problem is then compounded by the problem that the Central Office is connected to a Windows 2000 Domain that I do not wish to add the SUS server too. Additionally the remote sites are not connected to a domain.
Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a work around that I’m missing?
