WSUS Clients not reporting to WSUS server for more than 80 days

Question
-
Hi,
We have WSUS clients that are not reporting to WSUS server for more than 80 days approximately. These systems are marked RED in WSUS console.
- Some of these systems marked RED, have failed to install one or more updates.
- And large number of systems showing as RED have not been reported to WSUS server.
Please advice on how to troubleshoot this issue.
Regards, Lorin Davis

Pls check your WSUS-Build. If it is not .274, install Updates they are
needed. Where i can find the Build:

Can you try the below to reset the authorization and force a connection back from one of the win 7 machines: it should help pinpoint exact issues.
1. Record the system time.
2. Reboot the system (or restart the Windows Update service).
3. After reboot run the command wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow.
4. Wait 30 minutes.
5. Post the entries from the WindowsUpdate.log starting at the time recorded in Step #1.
Do you have any Windows 7 machines that are reporting? Are other machines with different operating systems reporting correctly?
