Windows XP laptop doesn't appear in WSUS All computers list
- by George
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.
