    I set up WSUS on a Windows Server 2008 R2, a few issues I need help to clarify them:

    1) I don't see http://servername:port in  registry under HKLM\software]Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\WindowsUpdate

    I have set up http:server1:8530 in GPO, I am using download from MS directly

    2) clients --windows 7 have duplicated client ID from image, the susclientID looks like 3c8405edcet456....somethign like that

    I am working on a powershell to remove the duplicated ID for 200 PCs

    3) some server client didn't report to WSUS admin console for past 6 months, even I removed susClientID and ClientIDvalidation and rebooted but it didn't work

    any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Here you find the Key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

    I create a Batch Script for the same issue:

    If exist \\Server\Share\%COMPUTERNAME%.TXT goto ENDE

REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /va /f

WUAUCLT /ResetAuthorization /DETECTNOW

set datum=%date%
echo %datum%
set Zeit=%time%
echo %time%
echo %computername% %datum% %time% > \\Server\Share\%COMPUTERNAME%.TXT

:ENDE
EXIT

    You can use it as a Computerstartupscript with Group Policys. After
    a couple days many clients will come back to wsus and report.

    3) some server client didn't report to WSUS admin console for past 6 months, even I removed susClientID and ClientIDvalidation and rebooted but it didn't work

    Look in %windir%\WindowsUpdate.log for Errormessages.

    WU client version 7.6.7600.256 but the server WSUS is 7.6.7600 226

    Puh, where you read the Build? WSUS.MSC > ?. If yes, this is not the
    correct place.

    In this posting you find more details for the Build.

    If your Build lower then .262, update the WSUS and run my Script
    again. Did you try my script?

    Does that matter or not?

    I like your script but I am not allowed to put into startup in GPO since these PCs are dummy terminals and cross a very slow link --wireless link.

    Can you suggest a way to run these script remotely on mutiple PCs?

    I did have a powershell script to delete susClientID  and susClientvalidationID but they didn't show up in WSUS console after removed theseIDs from registry and rebooted PCs.

    So I want to try your script via a remote way.

    Appreciate your help and reply.

    Copy the Script local on the client and run the script with PSEXEC:

    OK, and now it is the right moment for have a look in
    %windir%\WindowsUpdate.log for errormessages on this clients.
