Hello, fellow forum dwellers,
I'm experiencing some issues with my WSUS Client Management and couldn't find any answer in the library or forums. Thus I decided to write here:
Issue
When registering a new computer with WSUS and assigning a group, the updates, that have been assigned to that group aren't released to the Computer (searching will only yield the list available to the default group). After some hours (I'm currently trying
to measure just how many) suddenly the updates will become available as intended.
Why does it bother me?
That wouldn't bother me all that much for permanent clients (Using the term "client" to refer to WSUS client, independently of the actual OS type), however much of our work is spent rolling out devices to customers (who ought to receive them fully
updated). Completely non-uniform, preinstalled but non-updated hardware and OS rule out preupdated installation images unfortunately. This is putting a significant delay in our time spent on each individual device (and is sometimes putting a serious bottleneck
in our operation).
Infrastructure:
WSUS OS: Windows Server 2003 R2
WSUS Version: 3.2.7600.226
Computer-Folder Assignment: Serverside
Client-Configuration: Registry Modification (Clients are not domain members, settings are applied via Powershell Script)
Client OS: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008 R2, SBS 2011, 2012
Client OS Architecture: x64 & x86
Localization: All clients & WSUS have uniform timezone and language
Any insights and help welcome :)
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Fred
