Not all machine apear in WSUS

Hi

I have upgraded from SUS to WSUS and changed SUS GPO to get all my AD
machines to update from WSUS.

We have approx 750 machines in AD and after 1 week only 470 of them have
reported to WSUS.

Anyone have an idea how to nudge the other 280 machines to connect?
There are far too many to use the WSUS tools by hand.

Thanks

The Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) SelfUpdate service does not send
automatic updates
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920659/en-us
When you try to use the Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) SelfUpdate
service to send automatic updates to client computers, the client computers do not
receive the updates. Additionally, the client computers do not report to the WSUS
server.
When this occurs, the WSUS Administration console logs the following error message:
Check your server configuration. One or more Update Service components could not be
contacted. Check your server status and ensure that the Windows Server Update Service
is running.
Non-running services: SelfUpdate
The event log may also log the following event:
EVENT ID 506
Source: Windows Server Update
Description: The SelfUpdate Tree is not working. Clients may not be able to update to
the latest WUA client software and communicate with the WSUS Server.
Or perhaps try the WSUS Newsgroup

Hi

The link you sent does not work.

Why would 470 machines connect sucessfully to the WSUS server and 280 not if
a service were not running on the WSUS server? Surely all machines would not
connect? All machines are on the same network in the same building.

There is no service called SelfUpdate.

Can anyone else help?

Bizarre. Clicking on the link from the OE message failed.

Request headers, captured by FiddlerTool (some removed for clarity):

<request>
GET /kb/920659/en-us HTTP/1.1

Doing a Live Search for KB920659 and clicking on the identical link worked:

Hi Robert, the link appears to be working okay here.
Not to worry, no doubt the OP has now posted to the WSUS NG.
