SCCM 2012 and WSUS woes

Django x2 · 19 Aug 2011 at 11:40

Ok, I have set up SCCM2012 in a lab with WSUS and got it working in so much as, the updates appear in SCCM.

WSUS also sees the client computers and in a GPO I've set their update point as the WSUS server. Thing is, in WSUS, it says the computers have not reported in x number of days (as in, they've just stopped).

I've ticked so many different options and unticked options that I no longer really know what has caused the issue or how to fix it.

Any ideas?

So you've confirmed your clients are pointing at SCCM 2012 for their updates?

As far as I know, yeah. How can I tell?

When you do an update scan what does windowsupdate.log say?

Is that the log on the client side or server side?

Yep client has defo been installed on the workstations as they are showing up in SCCM2012. Paz I'll look on the laptops and see what the log shows

Ok the clients windowsupdate.log does show communication. In addition, in the SCCM2012 console under monitoring>deployments, I can see the updates targeted to 5 machines (test machines) but the compliance is at 0%. It just doesn;t seem to install them. The updates can also be seen ready to be installed on the clients in the SCCM config tool, but they never kick off. Hmmpf
