If you're still having issues after that, post the WindowsUpdate.log file (from your %windir%)
Is the test system showing up in WSUS, and has it reported its status yet? ________________________________ From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 3:32 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: How to run WindowsUpdate on demand, with WSUS v3? try this: @echo off Echo This batch file will Force the Update Detection from the AU client: Echo 1.

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. <http://www.update.microsoft.com/> Any clues and pointers gratefully appreciated -- Michael Leone Network Administrator, ISM Philadelphia Housing Authority 2500 Jackson St Philadelphia, PA 19145 Tel: 215-684-4180 <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
