This is an access permissions error.

Merely having anonymous access on the default website (particularly when you
have a port 8530 server installed) is near not enough.
Unless somebody has mucked with the default IIS permissions, this should not
be an issue.
Mucking with default NTFS permissions on system resources can also cause
this error.

This tells us that the APIRemoting virtual directory on the port 8530 server
is set correctly, but that's all.

Review Appendices C and D of the WSUS Operations Guide for the correct
permissions settings.

i'm slowing making progress. i just can't seem to comprehend why managing
IIS is this difficult. i mean anonymous user is allowed the it should work!
somehow, i can't use "http://serverA:8530" in my GPO anymore. before with
wsus 2.0, i only have "http://serverA" but now i must use
"http://serverA.acme.com:8530" in my GPO and also use "Integrated Windows
Authentication" instead of anonymous access.
now my PCs starts appearing in wsus.

To be very honest, managing IIS is *not* this difficult, provided that
you're working with a normally configured operating system, and a fresh
installation of IIS.
However, if you're working on a machine that's had security configurations
"tweaked" by somebody who doesn't know, or somebody has "tweaked" IIS, then
things are going to be a lot more complicated.
Just as a comparison, I would encourage you to take a 2 hour break, set up a
virtual machine somewhere, install Windows Server 2003 *with* IIS6, and then
install a default (express) installation of WSUS. I promise you, on a virgin
system, it'll work perfectly right out of the box.

See... here's some *more* information!! :-)
The reason that WSUS "moved" the WSUS server from the Default Web Site (port
80) to the alternate "WSUS Administration" website (port 8530) during the
upgrade is because something new has been installed on that server making
the Default Web Site now "unavailable" for use by WSUS.
As for the "Integrated Windows Authentication", exactly where are you having
to use IWA instead of anonymous access?
And... pursuant to the previous question concerning the availability of the
Default Web Site --
What else is installed on this machine???
