I suggest that you find yourself an MCSE to do the job for you.

Check your Group Policy settings.

Always a fun getting things working the first time round.

1st and foremost you must move all your workstations into a new
Organisation Unit (OU), lets call it "workstations" you cannot apply
group policy to objects in the "computers" container and this is where
the WSUS settings need to be activated.

Secondly create/link a new Group Policy Object (GPO) to the
workstation OU.

Then edit this under | computer configuration > administrative tools >
windows components > windows update

You need to enable "specify intranet microsoft update service
location"

Thats it, you will need to wait for the clients to updated Group
Policy about 15 minutes and then they will start appearing in the WSUS
console.

Come back if you are stuck

2feral

you need to configure group policy so that the clients look for the wsus
server rather than going to windows update.

then you need to configure the wsus server for your particular updates etc

Set the server in the GP to http://WSUSServer:8530 in computer
configuration -> Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows
Update->Specify intranet Microsoft update service location

Enable it and choose http://wsus-server:8530 for http and 8531 for https.

Regrettably, I'm only an MCP, but working my way to MCSE....

GPO settings seems to be find. Just make sure that you are in fact using
port 8530 and not 80. This can be verified in IIS.
