<null> as WSUS server name

Hi,

We have a WSUS 3 server serving 60 clients. Everything is working fine,
except: One of these clients have not reported for a couple of weeks.
I did a:

wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow

... on the client, but to no avail.

Furthermore I did:

net stop wuauserv
REG DELETE
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Wi ndowsUpdate" /v
AccountDomainSid /f
REG DELETE
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Wi ndowsUpdate" /v PingID /f
REG DELETE
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Wi ndowsUpdate" /v
SusClientId /f

.... and rebooted, but the client still doesn't report to the WSUS server,

I ran rsop.msc on the client and it shows that my WSUS GPO is properly
applied with the correct servername.

However the windowsupdates.log file shows WSUS server name is <null>.

When I do a manual winupdate againse microsoft.com the updates are
correctly downloaded and installed.

An excerpt from the windowsupdates log file is pasted in below

Thanks for any help on this

regards jake
