I have this one laptop that doesn't appear in WSUS all computers list. We have about 23-25 PCs/laptops/servers in the network, all, but one are listed in WSUS.
This is what I have done so far:
1) Changing Updates on local PC:
- Go to your Windows XP client and start a new Microsoft Management Console (MMC). At Start, Run, type MMC.
- Use Ctrl+M to add a new snap-in.
- Click Add, and then add the Group Policy Object Editor for the Local Computer.
- Click Close, and then click OK.
- Expand the Local Computer Policy.
- Under Computer Configuration, go to Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Update.
- In the right-hand pane, double-click Specify intranet Microsoft update service location.
- Configure the settings to reflect my WSUS server.
- Click OK and then close the MMC without saving it.
executed wuauclt.exe /detectnow
2) Edited registry key to be pushed to the PCs using GPO
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"WUServer"=http://wsusserver
"TargetGroupEnabled"=dword:00000001
"TargetGroup"="WINXP"
"WUStatusServer"=http://wsuswerver
3) executed wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
4)Synchronised and refreshed the group
I am running out of ideas here. The client is running Windows XP pro, WSUS version is 3.0 and is running on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit.
Please, help!
Thanks!
EDIT 13.IX.2012 @ 15.40 I should have also mentioned that we do have a Windows Update GPO for workstations group and that laptop is a part of that group.
