David,
I've never seen this issue myself so these are just
troubleshooting ideas running through my brain:
1. Does running 'wuauclt /reportnow' on the affected clients resolve the
issue for the client?
2. Is it the last report date that you are not seeing getting updated or
some other behavior that pointed out the issue to you?
3. Have you checked your WSUS server to make sure everything is running
okay?
a. Free disk space
b. Database still running?
4. How is your WSUS configured?
5. You might check out 'wsusutil checkhealth' command:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708604%28WS.10%29.aspx.
6. Check out this KB article on dealing with the WindowsUpdate.log file:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/902093. In addition to explaining its structure
(it is tab-delimited, by the way, if you want to open it in something like
Excel to analyze it better), it also provides info on how to increase logging
to Extended Logging at the end of the document.
Good luck and Happy New year,
Joe

It seems I have about ½ my PC's getting updated from WSUS but not reporting
back to it. I seem to find a ton of near-misses via Google. The
WindowsUpdate.log on the client doesn't show any errors and in fact the client
thinks it's reporting to the server. Clients are Win7 and XP SP3. Any here see
this type of behavior before?
Same WSUS GPO for all systems, etc.
