Hi,
I installed WSUS in the 2003 server box. Now I try to add computers in
domain into the computer group of WSUS.
I opened WSUS admin console. clicked on computers. There is no computer on a
group. How can I add them to the group. Thanks
 
Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

Configure a GPO to point your XP clients to the WSUS server
Goto:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components >
Windows Update
And at the very minimum there, configure "Specify intranet Microsoft Update
Service Location"

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

Hello QuyNguyen,

Did you add the wuau.adm to your administrative templates in a GPO and configure
the policy for the machines? The computers can only report to the WSUS server
if they are configured to do it.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

Hello QuyNguyen,

On the OU where your computers are located add a new Group policy object
WSUS workstations for example. Computer configuration, rightclick Administrative
templates and choose "Add/remove templates", remove all listed ones, will
not have an effect for other GPO's, and add the wuau.adm Now you can configure
the settings for the WSUS server, how you like to update the machines etc.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

Hello QuyNguyen,

Do NOT install WSUS on a DC, use a member server with a lot of disk space
and a good NIC.

On the clients you have to run "gpupdate /force" or reboot to apply the policy,
you can check with "gpresult /v" on the client to see if the policy is applied.

Then you have to wait until the client reports to the WSUS server. You can
force it with "wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow" from the run line
on the client.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

Hello QuyNguyen,

You have to add the computers that you like to update to the OU not the WSUS
server.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

Hello QuyNguyen,

In server 2003 or higher you can just drag and drop, with 2000 you mark multiples
at once and can rightclick them and choose MOVE. Then follow the structure
where you like to move them. If you have them located in another OU make
sure that if policies applied there will/could be removed.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

Hello QuyNguyen,

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the WSUS your DC/DNS server and
on e client. Also post the gpresult /v output. If the output is to long for
the command window pipe it to a text file and copy it from the file:

gpresult /v >C:\gpresult.txt

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

I'm not familiar with this method.
I've always configured a GPO in:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components >
Windows Update
What's the advantage of doing it the way you suggest?

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

Hello JohnB,

The wuau.adm let you specify the settings in detail how the updates from
WSUS are handled and how the client reports to the WSUS server.

Hello JohnB,

If you not have the wuau.adm copy the text below/above the lines to textfile

on this computer. If the service is enabled, you must select one of the four
options in the Group Policy Setting:\n\n2 = Notify before downloading any
updates and notify again before installing them.\n\nWhen Windows finds updates
that apply to this computer, an icon appears in the status area with a message
that updates are ready to be downloaded. Clicking the icon or message provides
the option to select the specific updates to download. Windows then downloads
the selected updates in the background. When the download is complete, the
icon appears in the status area again, with notification that the updates
are ready to be installed. Clicking the icon or message provides the option
to select which updates to install.\n\n3 = (Default setting) Download the
updates automatically and notify when they are ready to be installed\n\nWindows
finds updates that apply to your computer and downloads these updates in
the background (the user is not notified or interrupted during this process).
When the download is complete, the icon appears in the status area, with
notification that the updates are ready to be installed. Clicking the icon
or message provides the option to select which updates to install.\n\n4 =

be everyday at 3:00 AM. If any of the updates require a restart to complete
the installation, Windows will restart the computer automatically. (If a
user is logged on to the computer when Windows is ready to restart, the user
will be notified and given the option to delay the restart.)\n\n5 = Allow
local administrators to select the configuration mode that Automatic Updates
should notify and install updates\n\nWith this option, the local administrators
will be allowed to use the Automatic Updates control panel to select a configuration
option of their choice. For example they can choose their own scheduled installation
time. Local administrators will not be allowed to disable Automatic Updates'
configuration.\n\nTo use this setting, click Enabled, and then select one
of the options (2, 3, 4 or 5). If you select 4, you can set a recurring schedule
(if no schedule is specified, all installations will occur everyday at 3:00
AM).\n\nIf the status is set to Enabled, Windows recognizes when this computer
is online and uses its Internet connection to search the Windows Update Web
site for updates that apply to this computer.\n\nIf the status is set to
Disabled, any updates that are available on the Windows Update Web site must
be downloaded and installed manually by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.\n\nIf
