SUS and WinXP

[Bernadette]

I have deployed a SUS server in our office and have the
Windows2000 and 5 WinXP workstations going to it for
updates. When I check the Windows Update log file on the
workstations I notice that they are querying my server for
updates which is great, but I get the following error line
on the XP machines only:

003-11-07 11:22:27 16:22:27 Error IUENGINE
Querying software update catalog from
http://10.198.7.14/autoupdatedrivers/getmanifest.asp
(Error 0x80190194)

This is mixed in with successful update Queries that look
like this:

http://10.198.7.14/autoupdate/getmanifest.asp
2003-11-07 07:58:21 12:58:21 Success IUENGINE
Shutting down
2003-11-07 07:58:21 12:58:21 Success IUCTL
Shutting down

What is going wrong with my XP machines?

Fyi, there is a separate newsgroup for SUS:

microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs

URL to the group softwareupdatesvcs for those who uses the Web

A Web site about SUS with a FAQ and a SUS forum:

This is normal. You will see corresponding events in the
IIS log of the Sus. Sus does not deliver drivers. But the
autoupdate client asks, just as it does when speaking with
Windows Update (which does do drivers).
