Event ID 506

[Kent Tylman]

I am receiving an error message in my application log for Event ID 506, The
SelfUpdate Tree is not working. Clients may not be able to update to the
latest WUA client software and communicate with the WSUS Server.

Also I have the following message on the To Do list section of the wsus
admin home page: One or more Update Service components could not be
contacted. Check your server status and ensure that the Windows Server Update
Service is running. Non-running services: SelfUpdate

WSUS is running on 2003 server, SP1, and it is a DC. Any idea's. Thanks in
advance.
