Server upgrade - not reporting to WSUS

Question
-
Hi
we recently upgraded one of our servers to 2012r2 and since the upgrade its not reporting to WSUS
i followed all the steps in this link
https://www.ajtek.ca/wsus/client-machines-not-reporting-to-wsus-properly/
ive checked the registry keys for WSUS and we are already using the FQDN for the server
we also changed the IIS pool size to unlimited in case there were a large number of updates
is there anything else we can try?
its just this server that has the issue and only after upgrading the OS

Firstly, check the WSUS log here: C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log
If the Group Policy has been correctly applied, the agent will reflect this and should show the following on consecutive lines during an update:
"WSUS server: http://SERVER:8530"
and
"WSUS status server: http://SERVER:8530"I hope this helps!

We have managed to sort this, we removed superseded updates and ran a server cleanup seems to have fixed the issue
