Thanks for all the help. I found the problem (covers face with embarrassment :). Mark

There's nothing special about x64 servers. I have several at home updating from my x86 WSUS server.

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.
