An example of WSUS server problem solving

Problem:

1. The installation is complete on 2003 and all patches are downloaded.
2. Make the following settings on a 2003 instance and an XP instance that are not added to the domain:
2.1 run gpedit. msc
2.2 go to: Computer Configuration-management template-Windows Components-Windows Update
2.3 configure "specify intranet microsoft Update service location": Set to http: // wsusserver
2.4 configure "automatic configuration Update" and select options 3 or 4
3. On the server, we can see that both computers are connected and there are some patches to be installed.
4. After waiting for a long time, I just don't see the client to download the patch and install it.

Solution:

Run the following commands in CMD:
1. gpupdate/force -- force refresh Group Policy
After running, check whether the key value under LM \ software \ policies \ microsoft \ windows \ windowsupdate \ has been updated to the value you specified.
2. wuauclt/detectnow -- force the wuau component to perform an update check immediately.
In addition, pay attention to name resolution issues. Http: // IP is not recommended... "Target =" _ blank "> http: // server name is used as the address of the au server. Instead, http: // IP is used directly...

Specify the intranet microsoft Update service location ": Set to http: // wsusserver
Note the machine name of your server.
Check the port number. The default port number is 8530.
The client upgrade is automatic and may take about 10-30 minutes. Don't worry, as long as the client can be seen on the server, there will be no problem.
