We have a new WSUS server, version 3.2.7600.226. I didn't build it, and I have no previous WSUS experience, so it may take me a while to answer any questions.
I have no problems with W7 systems. However, while a few XP systems have shown up in 'Unassigned Computers', most haven't. The troublesome systems are a mix of SP2 and SP3, and the versions of IE range from 6 to 8. If it makes any difference,
at one time all of these systems (Including the W7 boxes) were supported by a different WSUS server. It has since been decommissioned, and I don't know its details or WSUS version.
I've tried the 'Stop service, rename SoftwareDistribution, start service' drill. While all machines were imaged with SysPrep, I ran the System Internals' NewSID tool anyway. I followed each of these steps with various combinations of wuauclt.exe
parameters. None of these made any difference. As I understand the log, the system is communicating with the server and updating successfully. Maybe it's not reporting to the server; maybe the server doesn't comprehend the report; maybe it's
something else entirely.
Here's the results of the Client Diagnostic tool:
