WSUS Server Setup Notes

Just remember if using GP to place computers in group you have to tell WSUS server that this is the case;

Options –> Computers –> “Use Group Policy or Registry settings on computers”

 

On replica servers ensure that the status is rolled up to the upstream server;

Options –> Reporting Rollup

 

Ensure that the Upstream server can see the status of all PC’s

Options –> Personalization –> “Include computers and status from replica downstream servers”

WSUS Computer not reporting status
