Make sure you run gpupdate /force on the clients or it will take who knows how long before they get their policy updated to point to the SCE box.

The servers seemed to respond to it but not the clients. I really did not want to have this SCE server handing out updates to clients as they are patched correctly now. I also just turned on File Sharing on one client and rebooted 2x and I can still only get health monitoring data. I am still also getting the Not Yet Contacted under Computers. Things are better but it is a bit frustrating setting up the demo to prove it will do the job. I wished there was just one place that would tell you, in the correct order what to do to get it running. I have seen something like 5 differnet places bits and pieces of information. I got a lot further with the jewal Candee gave me. Most of the Warnings disappeared when I turned on File Sharing.

We usually hear about this when someone installs SCE into an environment where there are GPOs pointing the clients to a different WSUS box. You have to remove those GPOs before you will get true monitoring out of SCE.
