Hello,
After upgrading our WSUS 3.0 server running on server 2008 to WSUS 4.0 on server 2012, Windows XP workstations that were reinstalled after the 2012 server was installed, don't appear in the WSUS console.
Hope that makes sense.
We're running Windows 8 and some old Windows XP HP blades. Windows 8 machines are fine, the Windows XP blades that haven't been reinstalled are fine, it's just blades that have been reinstalled after the new WSUS was put in don't appear in the console.
I've ran the solarwinds WSUS diagnostic tool on a Windows 8 and XP machine that work, and on a XP machine that doesn't work. The only difference is the WU agent version is old on the machine that doesn't work, I'm guessing this is only because the machine isn't talking to WSUS properly and can't get the agent update anyway?
We've nearly phased out XP, so after the new WSUS was built, no updates for XP were approved, or even included in Products and Classifications. I thought this could be the reason so I enabled XP updates again and approved an IE 8 update, didn't work. The only updates the XP machines need is Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010 (for SCEP 2012)
I'm really at a loss now, any help is appreciated.
thanks
