WSUS - Installation

[chuah....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have 5 servers running on Windows 2008 and only one core server. I
have installed WSUS on Windows 2008 File Server which also a DHCP.

When I click on Unassigned Computer icon, there is no computer in the
list. How can I resolve this issue or can someone point me to any link
for this what configuration I need to look at?

Thanks in advance.

Rdgs,
Raymond

You are missing a vital part of the process, that is applying group policies
on your domain to make all clients look for the WSUS server. If its

You'll find most of the GPOs on: "Computer Configuration" -> "Administrative
Templates" -> "Windows Components" -> "Windows Update". The most important
one is "Specify Intranet Microsoft Update service location", that's where
you must insert your WSUS like this: http://wsus-server/ (https if applies)

Check this few posts about WSUS deployment and configurations:

Have you read the documentation for WSUS. There are quite a number of settings
that you must make.

Do not download all languages for all products it uses vast amounts of space.
Most products only become available to select after the first sync with MS.
