    Hi There,

    I have bulid a New WSUS server (Server 08 R2/ WSUS 3.0 SP2) as the old one(Server 03) had a lot of problems. i have given the same IP to the new server, and pointed using GPO. new clients who enter domain can communicated, but the existing domain PC do not appear in the console.

     I think i have to update regestry keys or something else.

    Appreciate Assistance.

    Thanks Ashish

    but the existing domain PC do not appear in the console.

    So let's start by determining what these "existing" machines are actually doing. Post the latest detection event from the WindowsUpdate.log.

    Typically when we say post the latest detection event -- we mean the whole detection event... start to finish..

    But in this case, there's a major clue here...

    Pretty much says the client cannot talk to the WSUS server. Either it has an incorrect URL, or the configured URL is not resolvable, or not accessible, or is resolving to the wrong (or no) IP Address, or the IP pathway from the client is non-existent.

    Thank Lawrence,

    i have configured the wsus update using GPO, other options in the same policy seems to be applying to clients.

    cant figure out where the isssue is.

    Hi,

    According to my understanding, you said that you have configured GPO to connect computers to the new WSUS, but those client could not.

    I would like suggest you run gpresult/z to check the group policy result and make sure the setting has been applied to those client.

    If the issue occured on all you client, please add another new client and try it.

    Regards,

    Yan Li
