  If you receive an error message / code when checking for updates, you should look in the Windows Update logs and find out what's not working.

  If you receive no errors but it just finds no updates, check your GPOs and registry keys to find out where it's trying to pull updates from, you may have a WSUS server incorrectly configured / set up.

  Are you sure that the server is not pointing to any old WSUS server? Please check that.

  To troubleshoot problems with Windows update client, please refer to that: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg153542.aspx
