"Your WSUS server currently shows that no computers are registered to receive updates."

Question

Hello!

I fixed my WSUS-thingie: It downloaded all updated. However, "Update Services" do not display the computers:

However, if I start a manual Windows Update on the clients, the update starts, but stops. It even says that some options are configured by "my organization" and it (!) shows the correct group policies:

A ping to update.microsoft.com fails as timeout.

So, the clients recognize the GPOs, but WSUS does not recognize the computers in the overview in "Update Services".

.Here is a screenshot of the "Group Policy Management":

And here of the "Active Directory Users and Computers"

What can I do?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Sounds like your GPO Policies are not pointing to your WSUS Server

Take a review of my 8 part blog series. Part 4 will give you policies, but I'd recommend reading the whole series and other blogs on my site to help you with your situation.

Answer 3

No, those articles sadly didn't help at all.

Answer 4

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.

Also, From an Admin PowerShell on the affected client, what is the output of

$(New-Object -ComObject "Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager").Services | Select-Object Name, IsDefaultAUService

Answer 5

I am also experiencing the same issues.
Name IsDefaultAUService
