> I have about 50 PCs that are all reporting to one WSUS 3.0 Server.
> Everything was working great until the upgrade from WSUS 2 to 3. Now the PCs
> report in on a daily basis and in WSUS they are listed as requiring updates
> that I've approved. However, they will not download and install the updates.
>
> We use Active Directory at the main location and I've been working with the
> settings in hopes of forcing the updates and downloads to take place at
> night. However, about 10 of the computers are at another location that is
> connected via a dedicated T-1. Those computers are not on Active Directory
> but are experiencing the same problem, so I don't believe it is an Active
> Directory issue.
