So I've set up a WSUS v3 server. Following the examples, I have a GPO
linked to a test OU, and a test machine in the OU. The test machine has
the GPO applied, and so it knows to get it's updates from the WSUS server
("gpresult" shows my GPO being applied). I have the GPO configured for
"Notify for download, and notify for install", which is how the boss wants
it; he wants to pick and choose which updates to apply and download, even
beyond whatever ones I've marked as "Approved".
I've approved a number of the critical updates, and want to have my test
server go and get them *now*, rather than on the scheduled time of 3AM.
I've tried "wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow" on the client machine,
to no (seeming) affect.
So how can I go and get these updates now? When I do the "normal" way of
WindowsUpdate (i.e., open a browser and go to "
http://www.update.microsoft.com/";), it seems to actually go to the real MS
site, and not just show me my small approved list of updates (for example,
that way, I see the "Mailicious Software Removal Tool", which I explicitly
DECLINED as an update). So it doesn't seem to be actually going to my WSUS
server. Yet the WSUS server knows about the client, and I can run a report
from the WSUS server, and see the client.
Any clues and pointers gratefully appreciated
