WSUS 3.0 Clients are not showing in wsus admin console - different twist

Here's a twist to a similar thread with regards to client computers not showing in the wsus console.

We're using WSUS 3.0 SP1 and not all client computers are showing. BUT... all client computers are getting the updates that we roll out. Also, the listed client computers would randomly change (the count will not increase)

Any ideas?

Thank you.

The Windows Update NG deals with client issues, Troy.

No twist. Read the solution provided in the 'similar thread'. It's the same
age-old problem with the same solution.
