WSUS Client computers not showing up

I cannot get any computers to be displayed in the groups i have created in
the WSUS console. I have installed all the required software components e.g.
BITS 2.0, .net and IIS. I have created a OU and put the appropriate users in
that OU and have configured a group policy to enable client side targeting, I
have set the address for the WSUS server and configured all the other options
in the goup policy that I want. (I know that the GP is working because i have
disabled things like run and help from the start menu, so the GP is being
applied ok)

The WSUS server is set to use the group policy settings, I have waited over
an hour for the cookies to expire and have also forced a group policy update
using the gpupdate /force command. The SQL servce manager is running also.

This server also have microsoft virtual server installed on it, are there
any compatibality issues with virtual server and WSUS being installed on the
same server? (WSUS is not a virtual server)

WSUS is running on windows 2003 standard with all the current updates
installed.

can someone please help me on this as i would really like to use this program.

thanks.

Perhaps try the WSUS Newsgroup
