In WSUS Options, do you have the correct product selected for Server 2025?
Product: Microsoft Server operating system-24H2
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to convey - perhaps add a screenshot and more details?

Windows 2025 not an option for the child tag so I picked 2022
I have several servers that connect to WSUS and most of them have the option to download from Microsoft but 2 of them do not. Servers in the same OU have it as some do not. There is nothing that I am preventing in any GPO other than telling the servers where WSUS is. Any help on this would be much appreciated. Running the Windows Update troubleshooter I get Windows Update diagnostic failed to run also.

The only difference in the registry is this one line DisableWindowsUpdateAccess in the ones that don't work. I removed it and still same issue. There has to be somewhere else that this issue is controlled.

2025-05-23T16:33:01.28+00:00 That's a group policy (could be a local group policy) for not connecting to Microsoft.

2025-05-23T16:34:43.4866667+00:00 One is a domain controller and I have 2 in the same OU and the other has it. the other is in another OU with several servers that have it. Not GPO. I will check the local Policy though

2025-05-23T16:55:10.2833333+00:00 From an Administrative Command Prompt on an affected client, run the following:
gpresult /h gpo.htm
and share the result with your favourite method or pastebin it so that we can see it.

2025-05-24T02:38:30.0766667+00:00 I've looked and I can't find it either. Only thing I can see is Extra Registry Settings of the Local Group Policy
UseUpdateClassPolicySource - perhaps that's causing it (or the others? I'd recommend removing them)
