I would really like to use that plug-in... Not something you missed, but the plugin author. The plugin reads the "ReportingEvents.log" file in the SoftwareDistribution folder, and looks for a specific ID. Unfortunately it appears that log isn't rotated on each check, which means that you had, at one point, several updates pending, and WSUS hasn't updated the status successfully since. Try stopping wuauctl on the server in question, and renaming the log file. net stop wuauctl C:\windows\softwaredistribution\ReportingEvents.log <rename/move> net start wuauctl wuauclt /detectnow Trigger another check, and see what comes back. If you still see odd issues, take a look at the log file, and search for the line that looks like this: Windows Update Client successfully detected 0 updates If this still doesn't work out for you, there are plenty of other options on the http://nagiosexchange.org such as: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=2547.html;d=1 Good luck -- Jonathan Angliss <j...@netdork.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
