how to add computers to WSUS computer group

[Guest QuyNguyen]

Hi,

I installed WSUS in the 2003 server box. Now I try to add computers in

domain into the computer group of WSUS.

I opened WSUS admin console. clicked on computers. There is no computer on a

group. How can I add them to the group. Thanks

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

 

Configure a GPO to point your XP clients to the WSUS server

Goto:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components >

Windows Update

And at the very minimum there, configure "Specify intranet Microsoft Update

Service Location"

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

 

Hello QuyNguyen,

 

Did you add the wuau.adm to your administrative templates in a GPO and configure

the policy for the machines? The computers can only report to the WSUS server

if they are configured to do it.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

 

Hello QuyNguyen,

 

On the OU where your computers are located add a new Group policy object

WSUS workstations for example. Computer configuration, rightclick Administrative

templates and choose "Add/remove templates", remove all listed ones, will

not have an effect for other GPO's, and add the wuau.adm Now you can configure

the settings for the WSUS server, how you like to update the machines etc.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

 

Hello QuyNguyen,

 

Do NOT install WSUS on a DC, use a member server with a lot of disk space

and a good NIC.

 

On the clients you have to run "gpupdate /force" or reboot to apply the policy,

you can check with "gpresult /v" on the client to see if the policy is applied.

 

Then you have to wait until the client reports to the WSUS server. You can

force it with "wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow" from the run line

on the client.

Hello QuyNguyen,

 

You have to add the computers that you like to update to the OU not the WSUS

server.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

 

Hello QuyNguyen,

 

In server 2003 or higher you can just drag and drop, with 2000 you mark multiples

at once and can rightclick them and choose MOVE. Then follow the structure

where you like to move them. If you have them located in another OU make

sure that if policies applied there will/could be removed.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

 

Hello QuyNguyen,

 

Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from the WSUS your DC/DNS server and

on e client. Also post the gpresult /v output. If the output is to long for

the command window pipe it to a text file and copy it from the file:

 

gpresult /v >C:\gpresult.txt

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

 

I'm not familiar with this method.

I've always configured a GPO in:

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components >

Windows Update

What's the advantage of doing it the way you suggest?

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

 

Hello JohnB,

 

The wuau.adm let you specify the settings in detail how the updates from

WSUS are handled and how the client reports to the WSUS server.

Re: how to add computers to WSUS computer group

 

Hello JohnB,

 

If you not have the wuau.adm copy the text below/above the lines to textfile

and save it as wuau.adm, so you can check/test it.

updates and notify again before installing them.\n\nWhen Windows finds updates

that apply to this computer, an icon appears in the status area with a message

that updates are ready to be downloaded. Clicking the icon or message provides

the option to select the specific updates to download. Windows then downloads

the selected updates in the background. When the download is complete, the

icon appears in the status area again, with notification that the updates

are ready to be installed. Clicking the icon or message provides the option

to select which updates to install.\n\n3 = (Default setting) Download the

updates automatically and notify when they are ready to be installed\n\nWindows

the background (the user is not notified or interrupted during this process).

the installation, Windows will restart the computer automatically. (If a

user is logged on to the computer when Windows is ready to restart, the user

will be notified and given the option to delay the restart.)\n\n5 = Allow

local administrators to select the configuration mode that Automatic Updates

should notify and install updates\n\nWith this option, the local administrators

will be allowed to use the Automatic Updates control panel to select a configuration

option of their choice. For example they can choose their own scheduled installation

time. Local administrators will not be allowed to disable Automatic Updates'

configuration.\n\nTo use this setting, click Enabled, and then select one

of the options (2, 3, 4 or 5). If you select 4, you can set a recurring schedule

(if no schedule is specified, all installations will occur everyday at 3:00

AM).\n\nIf the status is set to Enabled, Windows recognizes when this computer

is online and uses its Internet connection to search the Windows Update Web

site for updates that apply to this computer.\n\nIf the status is set to

be downloaded and installed manually by going to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com.\n\nIf
