wsus WSUS Computer Issues
OK I finally figured out the issue with both of the problems I was having!
PROBLEM #1
Error updating .NET Framework 3.5 on the Server
Solution #1
I manually installed the updates. from the Microsoft Update Catalog Website
PROBLEM #2
I couldn't get more than one of my clients (desktops) to show up in WSUS at a time.
SOLUTION #2
The issue was I created a Windows 10 image to load onto the desktop computers. So when it came to setting up WSUS all the computers had the same SID for WSUS. I found a BAT script that I ran to fix the issues. After I ran this I ran Windows Update on all the computers and everything showed up in WSUS.
BAT FILE
Make sure that you enter the correct location and port number for you WSUS server in the code below so that the computer can point to WSUS when looking for updates.
REPLACE "WSUSserver:PORT"
EX. http://12srv:8530
Run this BAT file on all your client computers that need to connect to WSUS.
REG Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v SusClientId /f REG Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v SusClientIdValidation /f :: Enter WSUS Server details here EX. http://12srv:8530 REG Add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /v WUServer /t REG_SZ /d http://WSUSserver:PORT /F REG Add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate /v WUStatusServer /t REG_SZ /d http://WSUSserver:PORT /F gpupdate.exe /Force net stop wuauserv /y net stop BITS /y rd C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution /s /Q del "c:\windows\windowsupdate.log" regsvr32 WUAPI.DLL /s regsvr32 WUAUENG.DLL /s regsvr32 WUAUENG1.DLL /s regsvr32 ATL.DLL /s regsvr32 WUCLTUI.DLL /s regsvr32 WUPS.DLL /s regsvr32 WUPS2.DLL /s regsvr32 WUWEB.DLL /s regsvr32 msxml3.dll /s net start wuauserv /y wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow PAUSE
I know this is well documented elsewhere but I figured it would be good to place it here since this post has so much going on with WSUS.
Hope this can help someone trying to setup WSUS.
I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone in this post that helped me to get this setup it was a bit of a nightmare for a while but you guys were truly SO much help and I really appreciate it.
