WSUS Clients "Not Yet Reported"

I'm running WSUS on W2K3 server. I don't have a huge number of workstations
(55) to maintain but cannot get them to report their status to the WSUS
server despite the fact that they are listed in the correct computer group.

I have established a seperate group policy for WSUS and all workstations are
listed in the group assigned by the policy but only our exchange server and
the WSUS server have reported their status and received updates from WSUS.

I previously had WSUS services running on another server (Domain Controller)
and all worked well but decided to move WSUS from the DC to a stand-alone
server which also handles backup tasks for the domain (Veritas V10)

The DC incidentally, is also listed in WSUS as having "not yet reported". I
also completely uninstalled WSUS services from the DC.

I have tried a couple of Microsoft's hotfixes for KB910847 and KB909131, but
neither hotfix seemed to acheive the desired outcome. I'm sure it has
something to do with the fact that WSUS was running on another server prior
to being intalled on the present WSUS/Veritas server, but just not sure what
to try next in order to resolve the issue.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
