Good possibility, particularly if that template wasn’t updated after a VMWare
upgrade. I just ran into this in our environment. All the customizations were
failing until I updated the vmtools when we moved from 4.1 to 5.5

They are VMs, created form a VMware Template. It runs sysprep as part of the
creation process, yes (or is supposed to, maybe the sysprepping isn't working
for Win2012).

That was it, yes. The first 2 deletes failed, saying key doesn't exist, but the
3rd one passed, and do a "resetauthorization" and "detectnow" did work, and all
showed up properly.
Not sure what is different in my Win2012 template as opposed to my Win2008
template (only the Win2012 VMs showed a problem, not the Win2008 VMs), but I
can dig into that, and make it a point to run this script as part of the
rollout process.

I have a WSUS v3.2.7600.226 server, running on Win 2008 R2. It has
150+ clients, including some Win 2012 R2 clients. All has been working
fine for a few years. Now I am seeing an odd problem.
Yesterday I created 2 new Win 2012 R2 clients, and Group Policy set
them to use the WSUS server, as usual. But the odd thing: Only 1
client at a time shows up, they both won't show at the same time.
Here's what I mean: 2 clients, SERVER8 and SERVER9. Neither was
showing up in the "All Computers" group, so I went to each, restarted
the BITS and Windows Update service, and issued a "wuauclt
/resetauthorization /detectnow". This is what I usually do for Win
2008 R2 clients, who are having problems communicating with the WSUS
server.
So I did that on SERVER8, and it then showed up in WSUS. I then did
the same on SERVER9. Oddly, SERVER8 then disappeared from WSUS, and
SERVER9 showed up.
It's like I can have one or the other, but not both at the same time. :-)
DNS is correct, each shows the proper IP address (when it does show
up). I see nothing in the Windows Event Logs of the WSUS server. I
don't see any errors in the WindowsUpdate.log file of the server. And
I see no errors in that file on the clients - in fact, I see things
like "4 updates detected", but nothing after to indicate why it's
dropping off the list.
Ideas? Where to go next?
