WSUS Not Updating Clients

[what3v3r]

the wsus server in my test network doesnt roll out Office 2003 sp2. i have 4 clients, where a slipstreamed version of office 2003 sp1 was installed.

on the "status" tab of 3 of the 4 computers the update is shown as "not required". which is obviously wrong.

i installed sp2 manually on one client and its status tab shows sp2 as "installed".

i configured the wsus server to automatically synchronise, and install required updates, service packs, ... on all clients.

can anybody tell me why service pack 2 of office 2003 is shown as "not required"?

all other updates are rolled out correctly.

its as if the clients dont tell the wsus server that they have office 2003 installed, maybe it has something to do with the fact that it was an unattended, slipstreamed installation?

any help is appreciated

well the first thing to do is uninstall office from one of your problem machines and re-install it from CD, correctly and see if this solves your problem

by "correctly" you mean not unattended? i dont see what this would change. it shouldnt make any difference as far as i know.
