WSUS Issue

[Guest rich7779]

I hope someone can help me as I have been struggling with this for a couple

days now, I will keep it as simple as possible...

 

I took over a network administration position at my job, and I am trying to

get our client pc's that are on our domain to download Windows Updates, but

none of them will install them, they all Fail (they seem to download the

updates just fine). If I build a new PC, I can download and install the

updates just fine, but the second I join the PC to the Domain, it fails.

 

All 10 PC's are part of the same Group in Active Directory, and I have

verified that all the Windows Update settings are set at Not Configured in

both Computer and User Configurations, as well as everything in the Windows

Installer menu just in case that made a difference. The clients still fail

the installs.

 

So then I downloaded the WSUS and get it all configured correctly, add the

computers, etc. The WSUS sees the computers, and it looks like everythings

setup correctly, but still nothing. The WSUS Management Console even shows

the client PC's syncing with the server at the proper times, but nothing gets

installed.

 

We have a SOHO Watchguard Firebox, but I don't think theres anything on

there that would mess with it is there? Everything else works fine it seems

like.

 

Also, the WSUS is installed on our Domain Controller, on a 2nd hard drive,

which is Shared with the right permissions set for the Users.

 

So...am I missing something? I made a small server at home and did the same

thing a while back and it all worked fine, so I am stumped. I have software

that I need to get on these PC's but it requires some Microsoft updates, but

it just ain't happenin.

 

Thanks in advance

What does the event log say, if anything?

and the windowsupdate.log on both server/client?

the GPO on teh server is set to?

 

I know I had a simillar problem, but ofc that was in an Non-AD

enviroment with Novell..:P

But anyways, when I did my reg file (since I couldn´t use GPO´s)

There was an value which handeled the "install process" or what to call

it..:)

 

I´m not an expert, but it´s my thoughts atleast..:P

Sometimes this happens if the computers have been ghosted with the

same security IDs. When a ghost image is created with sysprep new

security IDs should be created. If not then WSUS doesn't send them

updates.
