Hi All,
[account not verified yet so can't have links, my http addresses don't actually have spaces]
I am having some troubles getting my 2012 servers to get updates from my 2012 WSUS server; all of which are Hyper-V machines on the same host in the same workgroup. This is the first time of using WSUS for me and we do not use a Domain at present. Windows Update on the client servers will find updates (from the net) and I don't see the clients in the WSUS so I am pretty sure it is something to do with the server redirection in the client registry.
I have added the following registry keys (Once it works on one I will populate a Group Policy).
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate & HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
- REG_SZ: TargetGroup - WinSvr2012
- REG_DWORD: TargetGroupEnabled - 0x00000001 (1)
- REG_SZ: WUServer - http : // {servername}:8530
- REG_SZ: WUStatusServer - http : // {servername}:8530
If I type http : // {servername}/selfupdate/wuident.cab into a clients' IE it prompts to download the file, proving that communications to the WSUS server are open.
The client "WindowsUpdate.log" shows it using the net as can be seen by:
2013-02-25 16:43:17:216 856 744 PT +++++++++++ PT: Synchronizing server updates +++++++++++
2013-02-25 16:43:17:216 856 744 PT + ServiceId = {9482F4B4-E343-43B6-B170-9A65BC822C77}, Server URL = https : //fe1.update.microsoft.com/v6/ClientWebService/client.asmx
After setting the reg key I rebooted the client server and then ran the following command to clear the clients' cache of Windows Updates:
Net stop wuauserv
rd /s %windir%\softwaredistribution
Net start wuauserv
What am I missing?
