Hi,

I've just installed WSUS on a SUS server. Migrated all info across etc etc. but before I decomission SUS from the server, I want to test WSUS on a small number of clients. To start off with I thought I'd get my own connected to it but thats where I have got stuck.

I've configured my client via a registry entry. Done a redetect from my pc but nothing. Can anybody help me please. Below are my registry settings...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]"ElevateNonAdmins"=dword:00000000

"TargetGroup"="Test Group"

"TargetGroupEnabled"=dword:00000000

"WUServer"="http://servername:8530"

"WUStatusServer"="http://servername:8530"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU]

"AUOptions"=dword:00000004

"AutoInstallMinorUpdates"=dword:00000001

"DetectionFrequencyEnabled"=dword:00000001

"DetectionFrequency"=dword:00000012

"NoAutoRebootWithLoggedOnUsers"=dword:00000001

"NoAutoUpdate"=dword:00000000

"RebootRelaunchTimeout"=dword:00000720

"RebootRelauchnchTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000001

"RebootWarningTimeoutEnabled"=dword:00000000

"RebootWarningTimeout"=dword:00000030

"RescheduleWaitTime"=dword:00000001

"RescheduleWaitTimeEnabled"=dword:00000000

"ScheduleInstallDay"=dword:00000000

"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003

"UseWUServer"=dword:00000000

I've also tried with the IP address, instead of server name but still nothing.

Thanks

What can you see

a.) when you run wsus client diagnostic?

b.) in windowsupdate.log after you run wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow?

This is what is in the log file.

2005-09-14 12:04:21 1492 d0 AU Triggering AU detection through DetectNow API

2005-09-14 12:04:21 1492 62c AU Another AU detection is already in progress, using it

I'm not sure how to run the wsus client diagnostic

Thanks

You can get the WSUS client diagnostic + readme from

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversyst...ds/default.mspx

You can download it from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversyst...ds/default.mspx

Let me know the results...

Ah, m4dh0 was faster

WSUS Client Diag

Checking Machine State...all Passed

Checking AU Settings.....Pass

Checking Proxy...pass/none/none/Pass/None/None (repectively)

Checking Connectionto to WSUS/SUS server

WUServer = http://servername:8530

Looks fine...

Switch UseTargetGroup to 1 and create Test Group on WSUS server.

The Test Group is all ready created.

I have changed the UseTargetGroup to 1 and re-run the /detectnow but still nothing.

I've also re-run the Client diag....Still get all the same results as before

"ScheduleInstallDay"=dword:00000000 should be ScheduledInstallDay!

UseWUServer must be 1 if you want to use WSUS

Also enable RescheduleWaitTImeEnabled...

But your biggest problem is UseWUServer...

The server is still not seeing the computer but the client daigs are now saying

UseWuServer is enabled..........Pass.

We are getting closer...

Can you post output from cleint diag again + export registry configuration?

Here you go

Ok, now it looks fine...

You can try this script, that will force client:

WSUSForce.cmd

@echo on
net stop wuauserv
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v LastWaitTimeout /f
REG DELETE "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v DetectionStartTime /f
Reg Delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update" /v NextDetectionTime /f
net start wuauserv
wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
@echo off

OK, I've run the script and all tasks seem to complete OK.

Refreshed the server but still nothing....
