Today I was having an issue with a few systems that were contacting the WSUS server, but would not report back . After Googling the universe, I finally have these two systems reporting normally again, but I am not clear on what the true fix is or if it was a combination of fixes .
Anyways here is what I personally did to resolve the issue :
1. Applied the KB898708 patch to the WSUS Server running Windows 2003 Server ......
2. On the troubled Clients -
Stop the Automatic Updates Service
Delete the folder c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution
rename the windows update log: c:\windows\windowsupdate.log to windowsupdate.log.old
Start the Automatic Updates Service
Go to a command prompt and type: wuauclt /detectnow - After this step wait about 30 Minutes before checking it again !!!
Thanks To "Larry's Head Bangers" for the good troubleshooting info !!
