Clients Not Reporting To WSUS Console

I have 15 clients (XP SP3) out of 200 that are not reporting to the WSUs
console.

There are 16 computers in this group and only one is reporting to the console.

They are linked to the same GPO as several other computer groups - the other
groups are working.

I have tried gpupgate and wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow

I have disabled and reset the GPO link.

The clients are getting updates.

Any advise will be appreciated.

I have it fixed -

These machines had been imaged and SYSPrep had been used to create the
image. However the WSUS entries in the registry must have been the problem.

I found reference to resetting these entries in this forum and it worked.

I've even reset the hardware ID:

reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Win dowsUpdate /v
AccountDomainSid /f
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Win dowsUpdate /v
PingID /f
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Win dowsUpdate /v
SusClientId /f

@echo Triggering detection after resetting WSUS client identity
net stop wuauserv
net start wuauserv
wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow
