Windows Server 2012 R2 dont report to WSUS

Hi,

We have WSUS 3.2 running on Windows Server 2008 R2.

All servers are fine, but we have noe implemented two Windows Server 2012 R2, but they dont report to the WSUS server. I can see them in the list, but there are 19 days since last report. If i try the command link http://hostname/iuident.cab it gives me a file to download. I can ping the servers, and there is no local firewall enabled.

Is there some known issues with reporting from Windows Server 2012 R2 to a Wsus running on Windows Server 2008 R2 ?

/Regards Andreas

Have you applied the required patch from August 2012 to your WSUS Server? (See KB2734608)

Hi,

I tried to add the patch, but same issue. I can see from the log file te server is in the group Target group: (Unassigned Computers) but it should not be there since i have moved it to another group. I have tried the wuauclt /resetauthorization and /report now but doesnt seem to work

The following is from the windows server 2012 R2 windowsupdate.log file:

I tried to add the patch, but same issue.

This doesn't really answer the question. Did you *successfully* install the required update or not?
I can see from the log file te server is in the group Target group: (Unassigned Computers) but it should not be there
You're misinterpreting the meaning of this log entry. If you're using Server-Side Targeting, the group name will not be logged in the WindowsUpdate.log.

The following is from the windows server 2012 R2 windowsupdate.log file:

This logfile is not really helpful as it covers less than 50 milliseconds of activity.
