Hello Everyone.
Thank you very much for looking into this,
Let me explain a little bit of the big corporate picture, we have one main upstream server, and 50+ replica server that monthly receives updates from our upstream server. my boss asked me to deploy to all Windows XP machines the update: KB943729, This is in the "Update" category, I selected it and approved for all the 50+ facilities, (each one has one replica server on its site). according to the below logs it is supposed that the update was approved and deployed correct?
The issue is that none of all the Windows XP machines at none of the 50+ facilities report or show the update installed or ready to be installed. please look at the log I collected from one of the replica servers on path %ProgramFiles%\Update Services\LogFiles. this is part of the Change.log:

It looks like it has been properly distributed from the upstream server correct?
but in this replica server on the WSUS Console in Syncronization as you can see I ran two manuall synchronization afterwards, and I still see 0 new updates, revised or expired.
Is this ok? since this is coorporate i can not see the Windows or log into an XP machine in fact, to verify, but might they have received the update? people are reporting they dont see it installed.
Thank you very much, any help is greatly appreciated.
