Hi,
This is not supposed to happen.
I suggest you post to the the newsgroup dedicated to WSUS, and also
list the KB number for some of the updates you see this issue for,
and OS/Service Pack level on the computers.
Also, on a client that have this issue, take a look in the file
WindowsUpdate.log (in the Windows folder) and see if you see
something that can be related to this issue and post that as well.
FYI:
Please post WSUS questions to the newsgroup dedicated to WSUS:
microsoft.public.windows.server.update_services
(the microsoft.public.softwareupdatesvcs newsgroup is for SUS)
WebNews link to the WSUS newsgroup:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...pdate_services
Or use a newsgroup reader (default Outlook Express) to access this new
group:
Clicking on this link should open this group in OE:
