I have spent hours looking for a solution to my problem to no avail. I hope
someone here can help me!
I have a new install of WSUS 3.0 on Win2k3 server that I had to move because
the old server crashed. I changed the GPO for all my clients to the new
server and confirmed that all workstations and servers are visible on the
WSUS server. I have the proper permissions in IIS, proper ports, proper
registry settings and I'm getting "0 updates detected" in the
WindowsUpdate.log on the clients even though there are updates needed.
On the GPO I have the TargetGroup as "All Computers" though there is a
Server and Workstations group that I assign each computer to respectively
once it appears in WSUS. I'm wondering if the grouping is the problem?
Here's the last wuaclt.exe /detectnow that I ran (after restarting Automatic
Updates service) from the WindowsUpdate.log:

Yes. Lose the "All Computers" assignment. "All Computers" is a reserved name
used to rollup the individual groups. By placing a machine explicity in the
"All Computers" group, you make it *NOT* in any other group, and thus
they'll get exactly the "0 updates detected" that you are experiencing.
But the logfile you posted does not appear to be a machine involved in the
above scenario....

This machine is NOT in "All Computers"! This machine is assigned in
"Workstations".

This client performed a perfectly valid detection. The only logical
conclusion from this logfile is that there's nothing approved for
"Workstations" that is NEEDED by this client.
Specifically what update(s) do you feel should be detected by this client?
Specifically what update(s) are being reported as NEEDED by the
"Workstations" group, and is this particular machine (gge.gsamusic.com) one
of the machines listed with the update "Not Installed"?

Lawrence,
Thank you for your response. My WSUS admin console is showing this
workstation status as needing 20 updates, yet the log says 0 updates needed.
I can't seem to find a reason why the workstation won't see the needed
updates.

Are you sure it does not say "0 updates detected", this is not the same thing. A
needed update is one that the computer needs but a detected update if one that
is needed AND available to download.
If my guess is correct then either the updates are not approved for install
(check the group approvals) or they are not downloaded to the WSUS server (check
the status on the WSUS server).

Good catch, Dave! The log only records updated =detected=. The console makes
the distinction between (Needed / Not Applicable / Installed).
The scenario where the console shows updates as "Needed", but the log
records none as "Detected" is also possible, particularly in the case where
the client is unable to successfully sync/detect with the server. In that
instance, the server will report the data provided from the last successful
Reporting Event (which might well have noted the updates were Needed), but
the current scenarios is preventing the client from successfully executing
the detection -- which would result in a report of "0 updates detected".

OK, you guys nailed it!!!! I am still new to this software and I'm getting
successful synchronization reports for WSUS, but nowhere does it indicate
that though the syncs happened, the actual files were NOT downloaded!
I don't know why I can't get any of the actual update files to download! I
right click the update and hit retry download but it never works. Any
suggestions?

OK, so now that I have a better idea of what is going on, the application
event viewer had an error 364 for wsus, which is the following:
Event 364 Source: Windows Server Update Category: Synchronization
Content file download failed. Reason: The server does not support the
necessary HTTP protocol. Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
requires that the server support the Range protocol header.
Source File:
/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/visio2002-kb917150-fullfile-glb_c086ab10bda5e695d8ea26d91a690e225fc239d6.cab
Destination File:
d:\WSUS\WsusContent\D6\C086AB10BDA5E695D8EA26D91A690E225FC239D6.CAB.
This was suggested on a forum:
<beginquote>KB 922330 says the problem is because the affected computer is
behind a firewall or proxy. They specifically mention Sonicwall security
appliances as a culprit and suggest selecting the Enable HTTP Byte-Range
request with Gateway AV check box on the Sonicwall configuration. This
particular WSUS client does sit behind a Sonicwall 3060 security appliance.
I went into the Sonicwall administation page, but could not find where to
enable this feature. Luckily I came across this post, where J.B. pointed out
where to find the setting:
“Instructions for Sonic Enhanced OS:
Click Security Services, Gateway Anti-Virus, Configure Gateway AV Settings.
Check the box for “Enable HTTP Byte-Range requests with Gateway AVâ€.
I made the change to the Sonicwall, then ran wuauclt /detectnow on the WSUS
server/client. We’ll see if the Event 364 reappears. </endquote>
Since I'm behind a Sonicwall I tried the solution and it actually works! I'm
retrying downloads and they are working now! Thanks for the help and I hope
this post helps someone else!
