Some clients missing from Upstream server others from both

Good morning all. I first want to thank those who have been helping the rest
of us straighten out our WSUS issues even if they're PEBKAC or ID 10-T
errors. And although I've downloaded & read what documentation I could find
(WSUS 2.0 SP1 Operations Guide, Deploying WSUS, Step x Step Guide to Getting
Started with WSUS) along with some other Technet articles, I still running
into some problems and would like a second pair of eyes! So far, for the
most part, all is well: Most of the machines are in the All Computers list,
and are mostly receiving the approved updates. Joy.

Our environment consists of 2003 & 2008 Servers & XP SP3 workstations.
I'm focusing only on Workstations at the moment using WSUS3 SP1.
We have one upstream server and 4 downstream servers (one for each remote
office)

The problem is two fold: (1) There are a number of machines that aren't
showing up in the All Computers list on the UPSTREAM server & (2) those that
do show up on the respective offices' DOWNSTREAM server, I cannot 'Change
Membership' into the appropriate group. (While there may be some machines in
this office that aren't reporting correctly, I haven't identified them yet so
the focus at this time is the remote offices.) Right now the machines I
cannot find get their updates from their respective offices' DOWNSTREAM
server. After checking the All Computers list on the corresponding office
DOWNSTREAM server and still cannot locate the machines.

So, from the TARGET machine that's not showing up in the list performed &
verified the following:
* Verified BITS, RPC, Event Log & AU were enabled & started
* `tail -f \\TARGET\c$\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log` for monitoring purposes
* Removed
HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\win dowsupdate\SusClientID
* `reg query HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUp date /list`
returns:

* Following another thread, I removed the WindowsUpdate key altogether,
reapplied GPO net stop && net start && wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization
/detectnow && wuauclt.exe /reportnow
* Created HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUp date\Auto
Update\AUState : 2 (per page 96 of the operations guide)
* gpupdate /force /boot (rebooted) then gpresult /v to confirm the correct
office specific GPO had been applied.
Note: The output of gpresult shows that two WSUS related GPO's are being
applied on the Computer level but only 1 is applied on the User level
(Says"Filtering: Not Applied (Empty)"). This could be the problem, but I
need guidance in understanding, and possibly troubleshooting, why its using
both on the Computer but one over the other on User (or why this is happening
in general).

This morning I went to each downstream server, went to Options > Update
Source & Proxy Server > Update Source tab & discovered that the 'This server
is a replica of the upstream server' option was not checked. I had always
noticed that the Computers group listing on the UPSTREAM never matched the
DOWNSTREAM. Its only today that it clicked resulting me in thinking maybe
there was a sync issue of sorts. So, I checked the box, applied the setting,
waited a while, saw no change so I unchecked the box, reverting back to the
previous configuration. Enclosed is a brand new log file started from
scratch. Its stock except for server names. Notice, in the CDT & registry
it shows both the DOWNSTREAM & UPSTREAM servers, yet in the log it shows
DOWNSTREAM only. Is this a situation where I need to stop the service,
delete the SoftwareDistribution folder and let it try to update again?

I'm not looking to be spoonfed. If anyone has any documentation that I have
not already listed, or a site (other than Google and wsuswiki.com), please
know that I'm more than happy, ready & willing to read & get my hands dirty.
However, if you have a better search string than I that will produce positive
results on Google, please share!

This is your core issue with everything. These values must be IDENTICAL.

For the clients of the replica servers, these values should point to the
appropriate replica server.

For the clients (if any) of the upstream server, these values should point
to the upstream server.

To consolidate all reporting information on the upstream server, enable
Reporting Rollup in the Options of the Upstream server.

Thank you Lawrence for contributing! While I can somewhat understand why we
would want things to be consistent, I don't understand why/how it received
that configuration. We've got a linked GPO in the OU in question of the user
that uses that machine, and it sits higher up than the other GPO that points
to the UPSTREAM server, any clues as to why its getting a mixture of both?

I'll manually make the registry adjustment tomorrow, but I'd hate to have to
script something to force it during logon if its different. (Sure, I can
call Microsoft but I'm somewhat embarassed to ask as this seems to be, at
least to me, a small & simple problem.)

Lastly: Was I correct in checking the 'This server
is a replica of the upstream server' option under Options > Update
Source & Proxy Server > Update Source tab on all the replica servers?

Thanks again and I'll report back my findings RE: your comment.

Cheers

The only way I can think that might happen is if one or the other of those
vertical policies has one of those values set to "Not Configured", in which
case the registry would retain the previously configured value.

If it's your intent that the downstream server is a replica server -- which
is the typical scenario for a geographically distributed organization with
central patch management, then yes.

If it's your intent that site admins are responsible for deployment of
updates to their own sites, then you'd probably want to leave that box
unchecked, so that each downstream server has autonomous controls on update
approvals. Also, if it's the intent that the downstream server(s) would
contain a subset of the content available at the upstream server (e.g. one
or some languages, but not all; one or some products, but not all), then
you'd also want to leave the downstream server as autonomous (so those
languages and products can be locally determined).
