I would think;

setting up WSUS servers
configuring when the server downloads updates
how often clients check-in
client install options (schedule install day/time, etc)
setting up client groups to manage in the server web interface
making the WSUS server a downstream/upstream server
types of updates to synchronize (critical updates, drivers, security updates, etc)
setting clients to point to the correct "intranet statistics server"

...just a few off the top of my head...

I think you'll see some trouble shooting questions, like:

You set up a WSUS server and synchronize with an upstream server. A week later, you notice that clients are not recieving updates. What should you do?

You need to back up your WSUS server, including content, in case of disaster. What should you do?

You backed up your WSUS server in case of disaster, one day it fails. What steps are required to restore it?

You want to configure all your clients to point to your WSUS server for updates using group policy. You want them to be automatically installed at 3Am on Sunday. What do you do?

Etc....
