  Hi all,

  Microsoft said that Server Cleanup "wizard will delete all client computers that have not contacted the server in thirty days or more."

  But, what is a "contact" ? I've got a Windows Server 2008R2 that not show up in the Wsus Console. But the C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log say :

  So the server report 2 events to the Wsus Server. Isn't this a contact ?

  If I launch, manually, an updates search (by control panel), the server shows up few seconds after in the Wsus console.

  Thanks for your suggestions.
