2 machines added to domain won't update

Hi. I recently added 2 Win XP machines to the domain. Both were on Novell and
that client was removed. Both have automatic updates enabled. Both show up in
the same OU where all of our XP machines are [and those are getting WSUS
fine]h. One has Win XP SP2 installed and the other has Win XP SP1 installed.
Both have Office Pro 2003 with SP2 installed.

Neither show up anywhere in the WSUS 2.0 SP1 [yes, I've checked the
"Unassigned Computers"].

I previously removed a PC with a Novell client and added it to the domain
and getting WSUS updates without any issue.

Ideas?

[PS - We aren't going to 3.0 at this time as WSUS will be "rebuilt" on
another server that's stronger.]

You'll most likely receive feedback on this issue from the WSUS newsgroup:
