cannot add computers to WSUS andrew 5/15/2007 3:52:01 PM Hi all This is first time I am playing with WSUS. I have done some reading which seems quite simple to set up. After all the installation and GPO setting i don't see computers. I downloded the doc file which was available with the WSUS and read through it. Here is what i did. 1. Installed IIS 2. Installed WSUS. 3. Synchronized the server. 4. Implemented GPO settings and ran gpupdate /force on my machine. GPO Settings. a. Load the WSUS Administrative Template. b. Configure Automatic Updates c. Point client computers to your WSUS server. d. Manually initiate detection on the client computer. 5 Restarted the computer. Its not working and i don't know what else to do. Can someone please help me on this.
