Deploying Clients via WSUS

Question

When I search for instructions on deploying the SCCM 2012 R2 clients, I find this link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712298.aspx that basically says to create
and assign a GPO with settings pointing clients to check updates from your SCCM server.
"In the box Set the intranet update service for detecting updates, specify the name of the software update point server that you want to use and the port."
Is the SCCM client supposed to just automatically download with just those steps? That does not seem to be enough.
I created a GPO and assigned it to a few PCs and I see nothing happening.
What else do you do after that?  Do you need to "approve" the client somewhere like a WSUS Windows update?
I don't see how it finds the client installation files and deploys it with those minimal instructions.

Answer 1

After rebooting the client and manually checking for updates again, it sees the client available for download, but it fails to install.
The windowsupdate.log has this info:
