WSUS_IIS problems

[valteroliveira]

Hello...

I have WSUS installed on my computer that when is well configured will provied windows updates to my working network.

I configured everything like it's explained on the "Deploying Microsoft Windows Server Update Services.doc".

The problem is:

I can´t open the updates page ( not the windows update page but my updates page). I installed IIS like it's descrived on the document. I didn't made nothing else.

Can someone help me?

Thanks,

Do you have more than one website running on IIS? or does the site give an error when you connect?

Can you otherwise connect to the machine running IIS via the network ?

Oh and check the eventviewer on the IIS machine, that might give an insight to what might be the problem.

Everything is well configured... looks like it.

I'm wandering if the clients to make the updates downloads have to access any page, or if the updates are automatically downloaded... can you tell me that?

thanks

[Zartach]

The clients can be directed to download updates via WSUS via a GPO, older clients may need to install a little app that comes with WSUS and is available via the MS website to grab the updates.

Just go to : http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServe...3.mspx?mfr=true and configure the gpo.

I have one problem... I'm working in a company that doesn't work with active directory and will not work in the near times. They don't want. :s

How can I configure the clients to make windows updates from my machine?

thanks

[Zartach]

Ah, well then you can just configure the clients through this :

http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServe...0964a31033.mspx

Do mind tho, that if you are using old OSses like windows 2000 SP3 or older you need to install a WSUS client that can be downloaded from the microsoft website.

Hope it helps,

Are you trying to access this site on the local machine?

http://<server name>/WSUSAdmin/

You will also need to edit the registry (on every machine) with something like this to get the PC's to connect for updates

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"ElevateNonAdmins"=dword:00000000
"TargetGroup"="Servers"
"TargetGroupEnabled"=dword:00000001
"WUServer"="http://<server name>:80"
"WUStatusServer"="http://<server name>:80"

[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:00000003
"RescheduleWaitTimeEnabled"=dword:00000001
"ScheduledInstallTime"=dword:00000003
"UseWUServer"=dword:00000001
"ScheduledInstallDay"=dword:00000000

or delivery it from GPO (much easier!) ;-)

if he isn't running AD then GPO is not available...

[shawnyong]

When you say "on my computer", are you running win2k server or win2k3? WSUS can only be in on servers.

[valteroliveira]

I'm running Wsus on a win2k3 server... I don´t have AD and it won't be installed... I already made some downloads to the clients but somehow it only downloaded to the client the most needed updates, there are still some updates needed but it won't download it...

any hint?

i just recently installed WSUS after running SUS for years and my clients dont want to do updates anymore. i have used the registry settings like Taggs mentioned for SUS and it worked perfectly but since i upgraded it doesnt work. However if i go to each of the clients and use gpedit.msc and set the info in there then the clients will download the updates and install without a problem. any advice would be appreciated

tnx

lisp

you can do GPO to setup the WSUS server on all your clients, look in the admin templates, you can find it there
