All i am trying to setup a WSUS server for a small domain with about 50
clients. I have setup the group policy to point to the WSUS server
without issue. However on the WSUS serer i am only seeing 2 machines
ever connected. Shouldn't i be seeing all o them connected for management?
 
Re: WSUS

Have a look in the registry of the clients to see if they have picked up the
WSUS server as their update server. You can just search the registry for the
server name to find this. If not, you can use gpresult to see if the policy
was applied.

Re: WSUS

Hello Noah,

Run "gpresult /v" on the client to see if the policy is applied. Are all
machines in the OU where the GPO is linked to? Also in ADUC you can run RSOP
to see if the policy is applied for the machines. Just rightclick one machine
name, ALL TASK, Resultant set of policy.

Best regards

Re: WSUS

The policy is being applied to the machines. I find it confusing that i
only ever see two machines listed on the WSUS server?

Re: WSUS

Hello Noah,

Just a note, the client reports to the WSUS server, the server doesn't search
for the client. This reporting will depend on your configured policies in
the wuau.adm added to the administrative templates where you also set the
http:\\servername:port Try on the client in the run line the command "wuauclt.exe
/detectnow" It should report to the server in between 5 minuntes.

Best regards

Most often this is due to the machines being cloned. Check in the
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services ng. There are many
solutions that are easy to implement....
