Hi There,
I have just setup a new install of Server 2012, with the role WSUS4 (I think, have no idea where to actually check WSUS version)
I am struggling to find out why my Win8 Clients do not get updates from the server! I have assigned the computer to a Windows 8 group. checked all the log files. (not sure what to look for in the log files, but no error jump out.)
Set the Group Policy [http://myserver:8530]
On the Win 8 Client. If I run "Check for update online" I get 52 updates for the computer (+- 700MB). But when I run "Check for updates managed by system administrator" i get nothing.
I went through the list I got from the online check. and approved each KB article on the WSUS server for the Windows 8 computer group. I let it download. The next morning I checked the download was complete and I checked the Windows 8 client. Checked updates from server, and only office updates downloaded. I tried again to check for updates from server after a reboot and still no updates.
So I decided to delete the PC from the server, and clear the SoftwareDistributionFolder.
Now I cant get the PC to reconnect to the server, is there a command line to force the PC to reconnect to the server?
Also what can I check to figure out why the updates that have downloaded and been approved, are not being picked up by the Win8 client?
