WSUS client not pulling all updates
I have setup WSUS properly and it is working fine on scheduled computers, every weekend they restart with their patches. But when I am trying to bring a new server online, or have a special server where I run the patches manually, then I am getting some sort of issues. The yellow shield will not show up and even if it does, then not all the patches are listed. So, I just run the patches that are listed and the remaining ones do not show up either. I have waited for 1 day and still they are not showing up. Previously we were running some scripts and that used to work sometimes which I have listed below:
Script 1
Wuauclt.exe /detectnow
Script 2
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
Script 3
Wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow
Can anyone please help. Thanks.
RE: WSUS client not pulling all updates
Alright, this doesnt seems to be a problem with the client. When I checked the windowsupdate.log then it shows the below entry:
Report REPORT EVENT: {F933F065-7A56-4480-B02C-2C1A47576AA7} 2008-01-11
10:47:50:388-0900 1 147 101 {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} 0 0 AutomaticUpdates Success Software
Synchronization Windows Update Client successfully detected 0 updates.
So, can anyone tell me how to check if the server is reporting this update properly? Thanks.
Re: WSUS client not pulling all updates
You can try to do diagnostics and see if that helps:
First of all download and run the Client Diagnostic Tool and after that post the results.
Now you have to export and post the registry key, subkey(s) and values at: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
After that if both [1] and [2] are 100% valid, then we'll inspect the contents of the %windir%\WindowsUpdate.log to see exactly what is happening during your detection event.
