I have a question related to WSUS that I am unable to find an answer for since 2 weeks.
I have WSUS server and number of servers that are configured to download Windows Updates from WSUS server. I have client site targeting and computer groups configured and everything seems to be working fine however one thing bothers me.
I generate WSUS Computers Report for my servers every month before installing the updates. The status summary for my servers always shows different value from actual number of updates that are available on each server. Just to make sure that you understand my question correctly - I just generated WSUS report for my servers and I have "34 updates have not been installed" on 'server X' in the WSUS report however when I log on to the 'server X' and click "check for updates" option the number of updates available is 20.
The whole point in generating the report before installing updates is to keep record of how many updates are being installed every month for each server.
Can you please let me know whether these two values ("34 updates have not been installed" and "20 important updates are available") should be the same or I misunderstood WSUS terminology?
If I misunderstood WSUS terminology, how can I generate the report in WSUS that will show amount of updates available for each server (the exact same number that is being displayed in Windows Update Client on each server?
Thanks in advance for your response.
