WSUS 3.0 install & configuration problem.

After installing WSUS 3 on SBS2003, I cannot connect to the WSUS Server with the MSC Console to do the configuration. I get the eror message below. I checked and rechecked. In IIS it is running on the default 8530 port. Any ideas?

Problem solved

FYI, I solved the problem by unchecking "allow anonymous access" in
the directory security of the APIRemoting30 subdirectory of the WSUS
Administration website in IIS.

When I setup WSUS on my company's network I ran into all sorts of quirks as well. I found out that the Microsoft recommended security settings didn't necessarily meet the real world security settings. Mind you, that wasn't much of a surprise.
