Have you looked at the WSUS log on that machine?
%Windir%\Windowsupdate.log  scroll to the bottom of the file and see if
it logs errors.

Subject: 64 bit client, wsus 3.0 on 32 bit server

 

Hi folks,

 

I'm working on my first 64 bit machine. It's a Dell 2950, and I've
installed Windows 2003, R2, 64 bit. It's part of the same domain that my
WSUS 3.0 server is on. The WSUS server has recognized the 64 bit
machine, and says it has 41 updates for it. However, the 64 bit machine
doesn't appear to want to get them.

 

The 64 bit machine can see the other servers (ping both ways), so
networking is fine.

 

I've got the 64 bit machine in the same OU as my other servers, which
all work fine (and are 32 bit). 

 

I've tried "wuauclt /detectnow", and nothing has happened.

 

Is there something special about 64 bit machines and WSUS 3.0? I've
tried googling, but either my parameters aren't good, or there isn't
much information.

 

Thanks.

 

Mark
